And then there's Jacopo and Maria. Jacopo's actions in the Third Door are a lot less nonsensical when I saw how incredibly poor he is at communicating himself in The Final Door. Can't express his feelings whatsoever and compartmentalizes the hell out of any questionable act he commits. He does the exact same thing to Morgana that he did to Michelle, and boy oh boy is it messed up. What Jacopo did to Morgana in The Final Door one of the worst things anyone did to anyone in the entire game and his pathetic excuse of "I was totally waiting for the right time to maybe not torture her" is just as pathetic as it was in The Third Door. It made me realize that while his actions in the Third Door were dumb, they're simply the result of his inborn character defects that seem almost inescapable. Maria, on the other hand, made me appreciate her more by acting really different than she did in the Third Door. She's not the (fake) demure assistant, nor is she a cartoon villain. She's just a free-spirited woman who does what she wants but also has a rather bleak outlook on the world. Considering that she really doesn't seem to have a specific moral code and has a penchant for violence, her descent into outright villainy in The Third Door seems a lot more plausible to me now. It's also interesting that Jacopo and Maria seem destined to come into conflict with each other - even in the prologue, where they have no idea who each other is, they randomly bump into each other on the street and start yelling at each other.

Eventually I want to replay the game simply because I'd love to experience everything with the full picture that I have now. That's the mark of a great story.
