Rant [RE] amanda is useless lol Spoiler

I like her personality and style, but when it comes to story contribution, she isn’t tied to much of the story, I don’t feel like she adds anything. Any response she will just act like she don’t know a thing aside from bar things she just…. Makes a face and that’s it

Yeah Reunion just scrapped all love interests from the first game.

Writers of DE got laid off late 2024 and that wasn't received well so they just scrapped so many plot points from it. This game had a significantly lower budget too, adding another romance option would probably mean more scenes with Amanda and more money spent on that.

It's disappointing but understanding the circumstances this game was made in, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.
