Re:vriskazone
When I said HS^2 I mean the beginning when it was called HS^2 and had different people on the team.

In my opinion there are many aspects of the epilogues and HS^2 are not great in the way that many of the plot points are bad. The strained friendships, characters misunderstandings, conflicts and ultra meta concepts that make it feel like nothing that happens in the story means anything. I'm also not a big fan of the super evil Jane, disconnect John, Missing Dave, the whole redemption arc thing, Yiffany name/birth lore(The character is very cool though) tav abuse that everyone but John and Jake seem to just ignore and much more.

To me the bad foundation effecting HSBC is addressed the end of Act 1 where all the drama and conflict from the strange plots come to a head with all them together actually talking and HSBC team handled in a way that made the most sense it could have while planting seeds for the future acts.
