It works really well.
Sol doesn't need it at all.
Just when I think the task is finally done, it mentions a caveat that might invalidate the whole thing. Or it adds a hint at the end about something that it didn't look into but might be a potential problem. ALWAYS.
If I ask a yes/no question, it's always a short novel that barely answers the question and adds 3-4 side quests.
It's exhausting. Luckily I get paid for it but Jesus Christ, can't they see how annoying it is to use the thing? What were they thinking
I suspect the nitpicking helps engagement metrics and it doesn't harm RLVF outcomes, so there's just not good signal against it.
Don't worry, that's how it works in the real world, too.
Fable 5.1 is better at this so far though. :(
It's not just neurodiverse people who would like to get to the fucking point sooner and the explanations afterward.
All of us have other shit we need to be doing.
