I didn't read thru aaaal of this thread but basically we are talking about there being any happy endings or not. I've only just reacently bought this game and I DID assume that there was a way to a "happy ending". Now that I know theres not,. well.. I'll play the final (most unattractive) route Randal but then I guess I'm done with this game. I do truly appreciate the complexity of characters they wrote for this game but but this genre of games. Even the prequel Red Embrace you really could have happy endings. So great writing, not really working for me (with only miserable endings)
