I'm currently thinking, while it would still suck, if Alois and Gilbert actually had a romance with M Byleth, it wouldnt be as bad as it is. 3/5 is better than 1/5 tbh, even tho I'd swap Gilbert for Raphael or even Sylvain.
Sadly we, the customers, cant really reach Intelligent Systems and Nintendo doesnt seem to send IntSys our feedback too.
I think the only thing we really can do at this point is, hoping that they patch back in the dummied m!m options.
