I feel I just have to add: The reason that HS's continuation also seems to be a huge difficulty for me (and the content coming thereafter) is because none of the characters feel like logical throughlines to their previous selves. I don't feel like I can take a stab at Dirk in Act 6 and Dirk in Meat and say "yes, this is the same character." in any capacity.

Same for Jane. Same for Jade. Same for Rose. Same for Roxy.

And it kind of kills my ability to be invested. I feel like in 2 years time, the characterization for all of them could be swapped around again, so what's the use? :(
