some designers are going to want to have users have a specific experience because they are creating art and something personal to them and they think this is the way it should be experienced
The hotspring scramble DLC includes lots of support-style conversations for both!
All the scramble DLCs are super worth investing in
Fuck me that's right! I might have to finish that dang playthrough I had going
(I have all the scramble and future-past DLCs)
Fun fact about the future past DLCs
You know how all the father supports were really generic? In the Future Past DLC, each child/father combination has a bespoke conversation with their kid that's something like twice as long as a normal support conversation. It's very good.

does this also apply to morgan and her mother if you play as a dude?

Unfortunately no. Morgan only ever really interacts with the Avatar in Future Past
But, in fairness
What you get is good, so be sure to talk to Morgan if at all possible
this isn't like taking a cardboard box and using it to play. video games don't exist in a vacuum, they need to be designed with some intent in mind even if that intent is simply "build things out of blocks"
I just wish Anna and Say'ri had more support links, they're both cool ladies
I'm not sure the game needed more variations on "I love money, money, money, money "
Anna's support with the avatar is actually one of the most believable supports in the entire game
The avatar often brings out the absolute best in whoever they're interacting with, writing-wise
Like, the support with Cordelia is one of the very few where she never mentions Chrom and it focuses almost entirely on her as a character, which is really refreshing
some designers are going to want to have users have a specific experience because they are creating art and something personal to them and they think this is the way it should be experienced
and that is ok
I guess this is where I don't agree
The game design is only part of what a game is
The player experiencing it is what turns it into a game
And I think there should be as many ways to do that as realistically possible
I will also say that the player is under no obligation to play the game how the designer "intended" either. Do whatever you want in the world they built. Mod the world they built, etc. Lord knows I would never slog through a game of unmodded AI in a Total War game.

nintendo you have the tablet now....
I can't say you are wrong but
Still a Thing I Wanted
and that is ok
Should've registered it to your BNet account when you had the CDs!
It's actually super great; the hot spring element is almost incidental to most of the conversations in it
THey use it to build up a lot of relationships that aren't elaborated on much in the main game. Like, Chrom finally gets supports with

I no longer have a bnet account because blizzard support is the fucking worst

I actually know someone who didn't want multi in journey because he just wanted to explore the areas without someone else there
guess what
that's fine!

Gmod

In Gmod's case it's literally a toolset
In that case the designer isn't giving you any input on what's fun
The input it's giving you is that creativity is fun. The sandbox is the fun.
You'll see Anna again.

And then I as a player get to decide if what they made sounds fun or not. (save points once every hour? Fuck off).
And then I can play the game however I want once I own it (unplugging from the internet, for example).

gmod is totally a game
It is the most game
It is literally, hundred of games!

Yay!
She seems like some kind of paladin type which I don't have yet so that'll be nice
Of course, we as players are also under no obligation to buy their game if it does not appeal to us.
It was well worth the €0.89 I paid for it.
Decent attack and defence, can heal?
Madden shouldn't have to go out of its way to change its design to appeal to me
And sometimes it's okay to have a game designed around players being dicks to each other
She just gulps vulneraries the first time you see her, she's not a healer. Anna's a melee attacker, her thing is dealing damage.
Aw poop
she has the ability to use staves which mean she can heal
but her magic stat isn't going to be high enough to make her better than a a cleric/priest/troubadour
