Dakota is a bit of a special case, her personality was literally contradicted/changed within her debut season, which is pretty hard to do, and takes quite the screw up.

Dave is a different case. I'm not particularly sure where you would've wanted him to go, because have Skave work out would've made for an incredibly boring and stale couple. The only way to fix that would be to get rid of Skave enitrely, and would Dave really be that entertaining of a character with no major interaction with anybody to hold up until the merge? Given that the direction he did go in was...his whole plot.

So overall I'm not exactly sure what direction you wanted him to go in.
