At the time I chose, it was just because I enjoyed playing Ryan more and he was my favourite looks-wise, too. He had more of a story going on, what with being in a relationship Valera, whilst Eleanor really didn’t have anything going on at all. That was really my bad though as I wasn’t playing as detailed as I am now, I just kinda sped through a lot of it. For comparison, the whole of Generation 2 lasted 73 pages whilst Generation 3 is already on 29 pages and all the Gen 3 kids are still just kids – plus I have a lot planned for all of them so it’s gonna be pretty long.

To be honest though, it’s pretty redundant picking an heir in my legacies, just because I end up playing every member of the family for an equal amount anyway. Really the only difference in picking an heir is that they get to stay in the legacy house (which isn’t always the greatest for them, considering how hard it is to make money and how expensive their bills are).
