Well, you do have a minor problem with me, I have a minor issue with you.

Doesn't really get in the way of all of us having fun talking about games. loads of us around here and I bet if I asked you on some technical advice, you'd prolly give it.

DadNier is a very good character. He has one sympathetic driving goal that he jumps down a rabbit hole of near-insanity to achieve, sacrificing everything and everyone along the way to try and achieve it. And unlike someone like Kratos, he does so while feeling like a real human being instead of a parody. I think if you're looking for him to be a strictly likable character, you're not going to find what you want, but as a compelling character who helps make the story work, he ticks all the right boxes.

Yeah, see I really do like the story. The story beats are great and in some ways, I do agree that in took an interesting direction in the depiction of its main character to drive the whole thing forward.

I just feel it's a shame you couldn't produce a more likeable main character to fit within such a solid story. I mean, if it wasn't for the plot, I wouldn't play this. The music is great, but I can listen to that anytime and anywhere.

With something like say film, just to pick an example. American Psycho, you're spending at most a couple of hours with what is a horrible main character (as a person), but he is very likeable in the context of the film.

With videogames, my expectactions do change, because of the time I'll be investing and the interactive element to the whole thing. A unlikeable main character won't stop me from liking the game either. Like over the years, I grew to like Tommy Vercetti less and less, especially compared to CJ and and even Niko Bellic. But the game itself is fantastic.
