I agree, I think this could be accessible for everyone. I think people can tend to speak in the terms that they apply to themselves, out of habit, rather than any intent at exclusion (the "
spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend will bring you home"
in the post title suggests that much).
Yep, spouses/plus
roommates (considering Krobus, and whoever is closest to the player) could have more of a role to make their relationship to us feel more authentic, or at least an added dialog at pass-outs or injury. I absolutely support this. Since it is a game with some suspended reality (dinosaurs as farm animals heheheh), in terms of character physical strength (a concern I've seen mentioned elsewhere), I don't think there's a reason why
any character can't carry the player home.
I agree though, it is kind of weird for a spouse/roommate to not be at the clinic when the player gets "surgery" at least. I also like the idea of a worried dialog after pass out too, maybe at least one in the morning if the spouse/roommate character is not carrying them home.
