He just sort of went Jesus on everyone after that point and it came so out of nowhere it was hard to buy it, honestly.
What people fail to realize is that Luke didn't become a better man, he became a better child. Luke is seven, he still has the mentality of a seven year old, and his change was so dramatic and over exaggerated in his dialogue because he takes everything to the extremes that a child would.
I don't really agree with that. Luke had a developed brain when he was born. There's no way you can reasonably equate him to a child. Comparing him to somebody with amnesia would be better, frankly, and a person with amnesia's maturity is not really...ehhh forget it.
Clone mental health is debatable so hey, let's assume that you are right and that Luke's behavior is perfectly explainable.
...That still doesn't make the story structure any better.
The game expects us to treat Luke like an adult, with him going hormonal on Tear and all. So the game is asking us to treat him differently at times and I just don't feel the game did good enough of a job at that.
Even if there's a reason for his development to be bad...it's like if Michael Bay said that all Transformers had explosives instead of blood. I mean yeah it explains the ridiculous amount of explosions in the movie but that doesn't make it enjoyable. So in short, yeah, I think the writing was pretty bad in that regard. It just didn't do it for me.
