    Jimquisition: Sexual Failing

    Reciprocity means an equal exchange. That is what the word means. If I shoot you in the foot, and you shoot me in the foot, that is reciprocity. If I buy you a Honda Civic, and you buy me a Cessna Caravan, that is not reciprocity. But it would be appreciated. :) Relationships are simple...

    Male Protagonists

    Yahtzee's right. However, I'd like to point out that there's a difference between making a character relatable, and realistic. I'll illustrate with Gears of War. Marcus Fenix was raised in a dictatorship during wartime and after years of service was rewarded by being sent to prison for saving...
