He's also in a completely new world to him and being thrown around like a sack of potatoes on an Irish farm. :P
I know some things are "obvious" to the player, but I also try to emulate the confusion he must feel in that situation.
This might be a subjective thing, but I think that, if I were in his position, I'd quickly feel so overwhelmed by new impressions and things that my usual thought processes would be altered by it. Also - and that's not a small feat - shit's happening all around him, so his mind is often preoccupied with the latest development. Plus, some things you as the player know are not what the MC knows or sees.
His abilities for example are something that you recognize as abilities because you are on our side of the 4th wall, whereas he may think of it as just something that happens to him. He doesn't expect to suddenly have abilities at all, since he's "no one special", so to him it may seem weird, but not necessarily like something that's worth asking about when there are so many more important and urgent things happening around him.
It's obviously just me trying to emulate what someone would maybe feel in a similar situation, but I think it adds to the story if the MC doesn't always act perfectly or completely logical. Makes him more authentic in my eyes. :P
That being said, I'm glad to hear that you loved CH! Thanks a lot for playing and enjoying the game! Means a ton! :)
