I mean... I did, I had like 12 or so pages of saves, and it was like the 3rd choice in the game so it barely mattered that I had a save, but I still had to replay the whole game which was kinda annoying (with skip but still tedious and detracts a bit from the story)
my main issue is it's the only time I've ever seen where unlocking a scene locked out that characters path, it feels incredibly counterintuitive.
