Valve needs to end the relationship between Scout and Miss Pauling!

[Ludek]

NOT BAIT, SAYING IT IS WILL NOT MAKE IT BE

So the past years in the updates Valve have been building a relationship between Scout and Miss Pauling. This started with the Love and War update. It was further expanded on in Gun Mettle and Tough Break.

Now this is bad. Why? Because the TF2 classes are mercenaries. Mercenaries should have no emotions. But Scout clearly shows an emotion for Miss Pauling.

This still doesn't explain why it's bad. So I will continue. One of the target audiences for Valve with TF2 is Mercenaries. Therefore this will give wrong expectations for the Mercenaries playing TF2. This will cause them to be worse at their job. Which is bad.

Thank you. You can donate below if you like.

I love your point. But as long as it doesn'r affect the game play, I don't care where it goes.

Fair enough.

I have. Unfairly but I have been.

It wasn't unfairly. 90% of your posts are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like the OP. It always has been for the years I've seen your terrible threads.

You're complaining about the storyline and making assumptions with no reference points. Nevermind the fact Valve can do whatever they please with the story because this is a Video Game and doesn't need to make sense in reality.

It doesn't need to make sense. But you need to think what effect it will have on the people that play it.

it has zero effect because Ms. Pauling has little to no interaction in-game.

Are you somehow implying that even mass murders don't have a personality and emotions?

Sounds like someone doesn't understand the basics to human nature or psycology of creating a relatable character.

Just because you can't fathom the idea, doesn't mean the rest of us are as clueless.

Not saying they don't, they shouldn't to be better at what they do.

Citation required proving a merc needs to be 100% cold blooded to do their job.

Mercenaries don't just kill, they do anything for money. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the mercs spent their weekends plunging the toilet because of Soldier..

Scout's romantic intent has no effect on the quality of his work, as we've seen since the introduction of scout's interest in Experation Date SFM. Similar to Spy being on again, off again with Scout's mother, has again shown no effect toward's Spy's performance as a Merc.

Soldier being Soldier doesn't seem to do much to the Mercs when he's simply not around, as we've clearly seen Heavy being a normal refuge with his family hiding from the Soviets, Sniper doing Sniper things, Spy stabbing people, Pyro being a CEO, so on so forth.

As for Mercs being all about killing...There's another name for someone who does jobs for a short period of time. They're called Temp workers. The only difference between a Temp and a Merc is that one is legal, while the other covers the illegal section.

Source: I've done Temp work before.

Miss Pauling isn't in the game so how would that affect scout's performance?

...I really need to point out Scout is in the comics? Or that his role in the group isn't weakened or enhanced by his interest in Miss Pauling?

It does, he takes days off work to spend time with Ms Pauling. He performs worse therefore.

Care to cite where in the comics scout says he's constantly ignoring his job to chase her? Or evidence showing he didn't do something he should have, because he was with Miss Pauling?

Right now you've got no baseline for an argument on this, and I'm not seeing anywhere in the comics showing his performance suffered.

IN

GAAAAAAAAAAAAME
Also the comics are fine I don't understand your argument. By this logic why aren't you ripping on soldier for dating heavies sister for no reason. Please help me understand where you're coming from because I don't get it.

the point of the mercenaries is that they all have different PERSONALITIES, they are supposed to be RELATABLE characters....
