That dude from alpha protocol, he is constantly being a smug asshole even if you pick the nicer dialogue options
Strange as it sounds, yes, but that's mostly due to some of the developments at the end of the game. For the first half of it, I was pissed at him for not ever saying "screw you guys, I'm going home" to those people (the chick, especially... what does she do besides sit on her ass for the entire game?) who kept ordering him around.Romidude said:You identified with a mute who cuts up aliens with mining tools?PanicxBoss said:He gets better in DS2, apparently. And I don't know, maybe it just depends on the person, cos I ended up identifying with him by the end. (Though to make motivation matters worse, it's not even his wife he's after. It's just his girlfriend... Yeah...)Romidude said:Isaac Clarke, I just bought Dead Space, and the whole missing wife thing is pretty damn uninteresting when Isaac is a robot with advanced motor skills.
He started out as a sympathetic and tragic anti-hero. Then GoW2 and 3 came out. Now he is just a kill happy douche.tellmeimaninja said:Kratos.
They developers made an unlikable prick who's only thought is about killing things.
Then they gave him a family to try to make him likable.
Then they had him go and kill pretty much everything in such brutal fashion that any semblance of sympathy anyone might have felt towards him was destroyed.
I think Desmond gets a bad rap.misterbobperson said:Desmond Miles
You're not supposed to support Alex Mercer's views, he's equally (if not more) evil than your protagonists. That was the point.kman123 said:didn't really support Alex Mercer's views...and I had to PLAY as the damn thing.
thats interesting, at first I didnt find him all that compelling (I actually let him die in the final mission because I was paranoid about losing tali) I think because he didnt want to tlak to me all that muchmynameisphil said:He's not the main character, but I took an instant dislike to Jacob from Mass Effect 2. I think I finally kinda figured it out. It's the way he just assumes he has some sort of influence on whatever happens on the Normandy. He thinks that Commander Shepard, the guy who saved the galaxy from destruction by the Reapers gives a flying fuck what some random Cerberus operative with daddy issues thinks about releasing a tank-bred Krogan or how he feels about trusting a memeber of the team. I love watching him die only character in that game that I have absolutely no care for.
I get where you're coming from, but it's either him or Miranda. They're the only two you consistently have, and it would be a bit awkward if there wasn't any wrap up dialog at all.mynameisphil said:He's not the main character, but I took an instant dislike to Jacob from Mass Effect 2.

Lol, blandest sentient being in the universe.misterbobperson said:Desmond Miles
while its a little harder to get attached to a silent protagonist I found issac to be quite likable, hes not some jerk-ass trigger happy "hero" hes an engineer, I found him to be quite human through is body language and other subtle things, at the start if you swing the camera around before he puts on his mask you can see his face....its not a an action hero face but sort of a kind-normal guy face which you also see at the end it really makes you feel for him , he dose give comentry in the task objectives/manuel thingRomidude said:You identified with a mute who cuts up aliens with mining tools?PanicxBoss said:He gets better in DS2, apparently.
