No... I replied to you... the things you mentioned weren't character development. They were flashbacks.

Character Development happens DURING the story. Not before it.

 

It goes both ways. Things you didn't know about certain characters before change in front of you sometimes after flashbacks, as well as your perceptive. You're playing the game that has the flashback, therefore it IS happening during the story. Flashbacks can and generally will impact a character in a later time. It doesn't have to necessarily effect them throughout the game, but if there is a change in their persona their character does.

 


I couldn't disagree more. After all... a LOT happens to them during the game... yet it doesn't seem to change any of them.

The fact that there characters change so readily in the past, yet don't change at all in the present in of itself is a problem. It's just lazy storytelling.

It reeks of someone who came up with the beggining and the ending before working out the middle... without thought of how getting from point A to point B would effect anyone.
