Something caught my eye while I was doing test runs through Success Mode and I thought it was worth mentioning. If you start a character and leave shortcut turned off you will read Marvin's video game strategy guide the first week(wk4,Aug) and your bookworm increases. It basically serves as a tutorial for new players. If you turn shortcut on at the beginning you bypass this scene altogether and miss out on the points! Don't get too excited though, its a very small amount we're talking about here. But this leaves the door open for other differences, though I doubt there are any. Anyone ever notice this or anything else of this nature?

Might be a programming oversight. Shortcut mode is just cutting down on the ridiculous amount of text, it should affect the gameplay and bonuses.

Yeah, I figured it was nothing but thought it was interesting. The developers must have been aware; I think thats why the amount is so minuscule.

I did mention it on the wiki page that some experience is missed out on. But the time "wasted" on the excess conversation usually doesn't compensate for the small bonus in the secondary skills, which is possible to get to level 1 before Jan 1 without.
