Hi! Your book 1 and 2 guides are super amazing and i really appreciate all the work put into them! I had a quick question about the Bobby relationship stat. Not sure if it's been asked before or is included in the guides, but I'd appreciate any input.
In book 1, when you first meet them and the game asks what your impression of them is, it sets the old relationship to 0, 1, 2, or 3. Does the new relationship with Bobby add onto this original stat or does it start a new counter?
For example, Bobby old relationship = 1, and by end of book 1 you gain 3 points into the new relationship. Will Bobby new relationship = 3 (because it starts a new counter) or 4 (including the point from the old relationship)?
Hello! Bobby, much like Rebecca, is a character that has two distinct relationship stats. The first is static after you set it upon first meeting them; it sets the tone and overall "foundation" of the relationship. It will never change, that's always going to be the nature of what the Detective's relationship was with them in the past/at the beginning. The second relationship stat is developed over the course of the series. It doesn't add anything to the original value set, but the two stats can interact in different ways depending on your choices.
