A lot of the events you will survive, or fail to survive based on your stats.

The poison won't kill you if you are very very healthy (It'll just make you very ill), but if you already have bad health, it'll probably kill you (I should check that).

I know quite a few times the game told me bluntly that I couldn't do something because my social skills were too crappy, or that I succeeded at a task easily because of my confidence. Or whatever.

So its not definant what happens. Thanks. I still don't want to take my chances with the poisen unless I feel like making my person have health problems. =I

It had a upstanding member of society/bestiality option for the infant/childhood stage.

Making out with a dog?
Fursuiting?
Eating out of a dog dish?

IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK!

I was just hoping to go through those awkward moments with the same-sex. And then the whole closet thing. Plus the game parents were totally religious; it would have been great!

I did two of those. My girls parents sure are mean. "If you wanna act like a dog you can live like one too!" or something like that.

Actually, now that I think on it, its just the mom. Thats what I get for neglecting her when I was a child I guess.

I know at one point, I rejected my parents religion, and found out one of my friends was a lesbian and supported her sexuality as not being weird.

So, I'll give the game kudos for that. It didn't get preachy on all like "OH MY GOD GAYS ARE ICKY"

That's the point. It's supposed to be a life simulation; a lot of times you don't know what's going to happen.

The guy who took it from the game and onto the net got a lot of requests for a gay option, so he might impliment it sometime, but he'd pretty much have to rewrite the whole game.

And, the original game was made in the early 80s; it's pretty great that it even mentioned it, and positively too.

Yeah I know. By the way, anyone know what this means? Or if I did something different would I know more about what happened? Again its my first time playing, so excuse me, please.
The police come and load her into the car. They call her "Esmerelda." You never see or hear of her again.

That's actually pretty interesting. I just thought he left it out. Not that it seemed particularly anti-gay or anything.

I forget which block it was but I saw this crazy-looking lady on the street. She looked like she lived there and was shaking badly and had blue skin. I kept picking "stay" and when I had the option to help her I called the police and that happened.
