Did you like any character?

[Arhat]

Apart from Gwen, I didn't like any of the new characters.

Moses is a snoozefest, Neil deGrasse Tyson with a lobotomy.

Vinh is a laughable attempt to copy Astarion from bg3.

Reggie is beyond cringe and was designed by someone who hates gay people.

Amanda, Diamond, Loretta, painfully generic, avoided them as much as possible.

Lucas carries a gun... but has zero edge, grit. Doesn't behave like a true psycho like Jefferson. Wasted opportunity.

Yasmin *no comment*

Constant witty replies, being a "people" person, always smiling. Bisexual, gets easily squeamish and uncomfortable when talking about the past.

Only person that felt like a genuine real person was Gwen, but I don't know what part of her is "transgender". She just looks like a standard Middle Eastern woman.

You sure you don't mix Gwen and Yasmin (Safi's mother) ?

I like Safi, Gwen and Vihn (a little)
The rest is neutral, but I don't like Amanda

I liked all of the characters, but that was basically all I liked. Game seemed thrown together and the more I think about it the more I feel cheated. I've never finished a game so fast in my life- and I like to take my time with games.

No why would I? Yasmin is more like a concerned shareholder than a parent.

Guy... you can't just look at someone and know if they're trans. That's just not how it works.

Since you ask here my take : Gwen and Vinh are the less likeable character ive seen in the series. The rest of the casts are simply ok -ish. As for Safi , she was kinda better than the rest but you don't see her often enough in the game to make an serious impact, she is AFK most of the game. To be honest true colour was a step up from this game.

Edited cause i put yasmin instead of safi lol..been a while since i finished it hahah yasmin ....eww

Not sure if the term "like" applies here, but I get what the topic is asking. It's more like "Did the characters *work* for you as part of the story", I think. For the most part, I think all the characters were interesting and "worked" for me, but some more so than others.

Max: Hannah IS Max and this Max is pretty much everything I had always expected her to be. But she's grown up, traumatized and a bit more reserved in her approaches to things NOW than when she was a kid. Duh. Obviously. It's bittersweet to see how she has grown up.

Safi: Initially really "liked" her and feel like she had the potential to be much more of a character, but she's not seen enough and when we do see her she kind of does this 180 transformation which I don't think landed well. Don't think they did her justice.

Moses: Soft spoken great character. One of the few "great" moments in the game involves him (to me) and he's a great companion character. Needed more "flushing out" of his character to make the most out of him.

Amand-uh (smile): Loved her in every way but totally disappointed in how infrequently she is around. Total missed-opportunity with her. One of the great moments in game (for me) involved her. Again, like Safi (but in a different way) they didn't do her justice and could have done so much more with her.

Vinh: he surprised me! I didn't like his vibe for a long time and then I kinda did. He turned me around a bit and any time a character has the power to do that to my thoughts, I think they've done something right. His well practiced charm, lacquered smile and on-demand "wit" hid the total trainwreck he was underneath. I want to know more about him!

Reggie: Don't know why, gave me Warren vibes but of the less potentially hostile variety. As a suicide survivor myself, I *felt* him that ONE time.

Gwen: Missed opportunity. Good character with what I imagine in my head must be a great backstory. But that's just what I am imagining. I want more of her.

Lucas: I *liked* that he's potentially complex. Total asshat that was complicit in the death of a former student, and yet deeply tied to his child. I was never sure HOW to feel about him and ffs if that's not art imitating life, I don't know what is. Deeply flawed person with conflicting needs to be famous/self-important and a good father. As a character, he too is under-developed.

Loretta: she's got a story, somewhere....but we don't really have any idea what it is. Can't say I like or dislike her, just that I felt there needed to be more of her.

Diamond: ok, she annoyed me and maybe it's because of the ending. But I felt her character was awkward (not in a good way), not relatable and never once did I feel the need or desire to know more. It annoyed me that at the ending they made HER a potential character for future games. Out of all people....HER?? *yuk*

Yasmin: meh, I don't know. Kinda one-dimensional? Type-A helicopter parent that ultimately does more harm than good? Too cliche'. No growth at all, either.

As I finish writing this, I see that the overriding theme here seems to be that there are some good characters and all of them a bit under-developed. So much more could have been done with them, but that doesn't diminish that (to me) I *felt* them.
