I disagree 100%. But, as you said, it is a preference thing. To each his own, right?
I would never do 1/4 of the shit the MC does in this game, but I am really enjoying living vicariously through the main character as HE does them! LOL
My only complaint along the lines of characters would have to be Klaus. If THAT guy found a gruesome death somewhere before the end of the game, I just may sleep a tiny bit better at night! LOL
But, your objectivity in the face of your own reservations is quite commendable! Bravo, sir.
And @Xiongmao, you have a GREAT game here, sir! Keep up the good work, please!
