i feel that way too when there are points that affect the relationship with the LI. I like the points system for that reason. it’s nice to see your decisions impacting the storyline. it makes the story more immersive.
that’s how it works with choices that matter anyways.
To answer your question, yes you should. But try it out first, in a draft doc. See, how can you make the choice that either improves or decrease the relationship with the LI.
