What's the point, Nia?

I've been doing my best to avoid romancing other characters so I can do so with Nia. I love her optimism and her perky attitude. However, after reading online forums and on here, I'm wondering what point there is in romancing her. As far as I can tell, you can't do so until very late game, practically end game. Once the game is over, unless there is a lot of end game story dlc coming, I won't be playing enough, if at all, to even remotely enjoy or pursue a more developed relationship with her. I'm now wondering if I've wasted my time.
(I also just read there's a bug that may prevent the progression with her from continuing, yay)
Just curious what others think or if I'm wrong and there's a lot more storyline I'm not finding online.

I don't know if there is a point other than to prolong late game. They are planning on adding a couple more end game quests according their post, and may add more in the future.

Personally I think Logan being an option so late is also weird, but that's the story. (He also sounds like an old mad despite looking a being in his 20's.)

They added a jealousy system so if you really want to, you can play around with everyone's hearts till Nia arrives? I mean, if you want. Not really my style, more of a second play-through type thing for me.

You get Nia around the same time as Jane. It's a poor implementation, imo, for both girls, but at this point the only thing that could "fix" them is more story events. Still, nothing is stopping you from continuing playing the game once you've finished the storyline.

I'm assuming there's actually quite a few people who play past credits based on the previous game. That said, I'm in a similar boat and hope they add more to do in the game in end-game at some point.

i think i found that bug because no matter what i do she will not say yes.
full ten hearts and will not accept heart knot.

this has gone on for months i get the feeling i need to get her on the jerry springer show and see what is really going on behind my back.

I don't get these kinds of posts about Nia. If you seriously like her, then go for it, she's worth the wait. Most romances events will trigger like 3 days in a row if you're already at a high relationship bar and you don't have to play beyond them if you really can't be bothered. If you don't care enough about Nia, then just marry someone else in the meantime and divorce them later if you really feel you must have Nia lol.

You can't give her heart knot, her romance is connected to main quest almost at the end of the game where she initiates relationship.

There should be at least some sort of warning or indicator that tells you progression for some characters is connected to quests.

Not really. Only 8.5% of the Steam owners have completed My Time at Portia. Half of the players quit the game very early, though this is not at all usual for a Steam game.

I wanted Nia because of our connection in childhood but at least at this point in the game she's only been in town a few days. Meanwhile, Heidi shows up at my house yesterday and professes her love to me...and my house is trash at this point, so it's a no brainer. I just wish I could alter her looks as I'm not into short hair on girls.
