I feel like a LOT of games that have like "friendship meters" or "relationship meters" etc confuse "becoming close with someone" with "saying whatever they want to hear" and it's such a shallow conception of Being Close With Someone that it's kind of exhausting. At least give me the impression I'm developing an actual Dynamic with someone rather than just nodding whenever they say something like that rhythm heaven wrestler
this would probably work on me tbh, gaming realism
