Max and Gabriel

[CraterLabs]

Max as a contact is fun because he gives you the quirk of being able to just jump straight to his last mission if you want a bonus challenge, and that's really cool. But if you're like me and you really want to fill the relationship bars of all your contacts, you're sort of locked into doing all his missions anyway. It's always possible to outlevel mission contacts, of course, but it's weird that he's sort of the only one who gives you a specific path that you can take to cut off his relationship bar status. It's especially surprising since he's a max level (incarnate-level, even) contact, and those typically can't be outleveled. Could he theoretically be tweaked?

 

Or, alternatively: could Gabriel be reinstated in Dark Astoria? That would allow all the Dark Astoria contacts to be retaken without the Ouroboros system, and might allow people to have their cake and eat it to where Max is concerned?

Anything to allow repeating missions with friends on the go and avoid Oro

I admit I *do* understand the rationale behind his removal; having both Gabriel and Ouroboros as options to redo the Dark Astoria missions is a bit of a redundancy. I do prefer the flavor of Gabriel, though.
