Don't Postal dude is similary to Eric Harris?

[Dawido]

I was searching a stuff about massacre in Columbine, and I seen that Eric is pretty similary to postal dude.
They both are having dark coat, glasses, brown hair, and also a dark pants.
Did RWS get inspiration to P2Dude from design from Columbine?

Not really, Postal Dude design first appeared in POSTAL 1 from 1997 which was 2 years before Columbine massacre. Here's his concept art from the game https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/postal/images/3/39/Postaldudeconcept.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130609175705

Hard to say, according to Eric's journal, he seemed to talk a lot about Doom and didn't really mention Postal. I assume that the trench coat was just something that they thought that looked "cool" and didn't really get inspiration from any game.

As I know for the wiki, Eric was also a neo-nazi, and Austrian painter was inspiration for him, and on some ww2 pictures I seen that his was wearing a dark coat in his "further" outfit , so maybe Eric just wanted to dress up like a 3 reich member.

That's one possibility, another one that seems plausible is that they could have been inspired by clothing of average mafioso in which they are shown in various movies and games to be wearing trench coats. The other thing that supports this theory is that they called themselves "Trenchcoat Mafia".

Well, this could make a sense, especially with that name " Trenchcoat mafia "

Postal Dude needs sunglasses to look at Eric because he and Dylan glow brighter than a street lamp
