About Rais as a villain...

[drakvyr]

I'm aware there's quite a significant number of people who dislike Rais as a villain, simply because he comes out as cartoonish and being evil and a big a-hole because "why not?"

So, what do you guys think Techland could've done to the narrative, the dialogue, the scenes to make Rais a well-written villain?

I think they should just have fleshed him out a bit more. More emphasis on what happened on his journey to becoming evil. I don't necessarily mind the "A man is only a man when he does things for himself", though it's a bit bland and makes him narrowminded. So perhaps some tuning here and there.

A better villain, as is usually the case, would be someone you can relate with... Someone like Ra's al Ghul; the variant of the Batman Begins trilogy at least. Bad things happened to him and people around him, cruelty that has no end. You could see that he still had compassion right down to the moment of his death, while still undoubtedly being evil.

So if they gave Rais a more gray personality with a more elaborate "this is how he became evil" would probably have made a big difference.


That... and removing the terrible QTE ending... that just came out of nowhere.

I'd give TSP an award but i'm out of points, because that would have been the best version of Rais.

For the title? Because you shouldn't be clicking on these types of topics if you didn't want to be spoiled in the discussion. Aside from that though, it's practically explained in the intro for the game; they're looking for a rogue GRE operative. So all this topic does is reveal the name and then that there's a QTE ending.
