Choices, routes etc. - full guide, full spoilers - looking for help

[Sphiratrioth]

OK - first of all, I always read the endings of the books before buying it etc., so I'm searching for a complete guide for Sunrider: Liberation Day. Have tried Google, this forum, Bing etc. already and I'm not able to find anything useful; only some minor spoilers - like who dies etc. So I've got at least a few questions (if no one would be able to support me with a full walkthrough):

1. Do any choices in Liberation Day matter?
2. Which choices from previous installments matter or guide us to which fixed routes/endings?
3. If the main game comes with forced romance then are there any guides for the RETURN EXPANSION? And is the romance really forced, we can't do a thing?
4. The H-scenes - where are they? In the main game, in the RETURN after chosing on of the waifus or in both? I mean - do we sleep with a few girls at once, only with the known - the forced one or is there a scene for each girl in the RETURN?

5. Happy endings - does the RETURN offer them for all the girls? I mean that both the chosen waifu and Kayto live in the end? And does the theoretical happy ending work for the originally forced waifu as well? Is there one happy ending for all the girls?

Thanks in advance for all your answers.

PS: I want all the major and minor spoilers, I'm looking only for them, as a matter of fact.

1. Sort of, they are saved for the next part of the sunrider saga, but they don't really matter much for Libday, unless you care about Cosette.
2. Again nothing you did previously really affects the story of libday, except what may happen to Cosette, but many choices from mask of arcadius are saved for the next game, whenever that will come out. Most choices from libday and before do have some effect on what kind of upgrades you can buy (some of the girls you have high affection for have some nice upgrades available), and you can unlock a special unit in the mercenary/backup-ships shop with a certain choice.
3. I think there is a guide in the guide section... The romance in the main game is forced, but also ended... sort of. In the next game Kayto is presumably free to date whomever you like.
4. There are a few in the main game, not just of the forced romance but also some shower scene. The real meat (hurrhurr) can be found in Return. In return you can pick most of the girls and sleep with the one you chose at the start if you get the good ending.
5. All the girls you can choose have their own happy ending that is slightly different from all the others. In the happy endings everyone lives... The forced romance doesn't happen in Return and that girl isn't an option there, but she does play a major part.

Ok, thanks. I know that the forced romance is ended, haha.

Secondly - thanks for the information about guides - I've found the one covering RETURN but there's none for standard story. Does it mean (according to your choices explanation) that the ending there is always the same, fixed etc. no matter which choices we make?? Anyways, I've totally missed the GUIDE section on Steam :-D Jesus christ, so dummy to miss it. Haha, didn't know about its existence. Sorry for that!

Yes, the ending for the main game is fixed. I think the only thing the choices change is the realtionship points for each girl, which will likely have a part to play in the next game.

You are not entirely correct. Choices does not affect the story yes but some choices (mostly those with achievements to them) allow for the purchase of certain goods in the ship store. One example are the Ongresse rods which are only avialable if you cover for the allience in the first game. The ability to purchase Falcons or Mining union battleship is also dependable on the side missions.

That's what I said except I kept it vague...

Does Sola have a sex scene in her happy ending because I just played it through and didn't get one.
