Sounds like you're playing a heavy alpha path. Try playing it again and avoid alpha activities. You'll find a very different outcome. Turns out the bad guy was you all along.
Nope, avoided alpha points and MC still inexplicably gives Big John a day to consider things then still makes a stupid deal to keep things running instead of hanging John and most likely Carson out to dry which would have been easy. so he still chooses to become "Little John" and a predator in his own right instead of actually trying to help the girls and being the man of the house. Guess it wasn't me, MC is still well on his way to being just another John.
