About what paths effect gameplay I simply am asking for a reward in essence, if you complete a path something similar to how in GTA San Andreas if you 100 % a girlfriend you got an outfit I propose something similar like a weapon or armor or outfit
For the other faction stuff I must say that is indeed a missed opportunity (atp the werewolf path might as well be an orgy cause the H scenes are all it can do) even becoming alpha has no notable effect from what I can see
Not bringing completed paths people with you is also a huge missed opportunity but as you said at least you learned
I agree with what you said about the story
As for the H scenes list I'm pretty sure since your close to finishing the game once your done you can do the necessary updates to it
I wish you the best in this project and all your other projects
