It’s always been quite a bug to me that the only thing you can say to Shallow Esophagus for most of the game is “Don’t sweat it” to close the window. As the game progresses, “Don’t sweat it” is probably the LAST thing you would want to say to this weirdo. It almost feels like the game is operating independently of itself.

I mean, I can’t possibly be the only person that continuously checks up on Shallow, to see if he’s got anything new to discuss, only to find the same old “Don’t sweat it” response waiting for me to click.

I’d think there would be more responses like “Well, get back to me ASAP…”, or “I wonder why he’s still not available?”, or “When you get back, I’d like to ask you something…”. Something that actually makes more sense as the story progresses, because while “Don’t sweat it” is relevant in the beginning of the game (when he’s more of a guide to you), it sure feels like a stupid thing to say later in the game.

Also, searched the forum and didn’t see anyone else mentioning this, so at least it’s out there now.
