A bazilion things happen after she falls for him and theyre relationship evolve quite a bit. I might be wrong but I dont think she is forced to kiss him at the end she can not kiss him.
2-That scene was to show that the infraworld was a presence everywhere, and some ppl could notice it more tham others but that it was not something limited to Joddie. In this particular case that ritual the Navajo tribe did hundreds of years ago made a tear and brought a very deadly infraworld creature into the living world. I agree that the love story with the guy I forgot the name makes very little sense here and feels rushed and forced. Also agree the scene isnt pivotal to the story but I think it is interesting to see how the infraworld presence afecting other ppl other tham Joddie and those directly related to her.
3-I think the motives for him becoming a tragic vilain are strong enought but I agree the game shouldve fleshed out his relation to his familly better and given his wife and daughter more screen time. Still think the motive worksvery well tough.
4-Who saves Joddie ? She gets woken up by the guy she helps than proceed to save everyone (or not if you decide to ignore them) and in the end she is attacked from the back while beeing very tired after saving everyone from a burning building. But maybe Im not remembering somethign from this scene. |
1. She has been burned many times by people outside of the lab from her parents to the party in addition to the fact that the guy is a total jerk the first time she meets him. Add to that the conflict about what happened Somalia and you have a detestable character. He doesn't give any reason to set up a relationship and the game obviously wants you to like him by the fact that they repeatedly push this relationship on you. For the main love interest in a story like this, he is written terribly. Also, like I was saying, even if you refuse every prompt to kiss the guy near the end of the game, you are still forced to in a cutscene when you are in the condenser (or whatever it was called).
2. It is a minor subplot at best and it lasts way too long. Like I said, some minor things that could have been worked into the story much better, but instead are thrown into this silly sidestory. Also, it came across as being far too stereotypical...Overall, the entire time I was watching it, I was just thinking "Why?" because it honestly shouldn't have been there.
3. Like I said at the end, killing off family is a typical card to play when you want a reaction because it does work so well if you don't actually look at it. The motive works because it is a typical trope, but its execution was very bad for such a huge moment.
4. Like I said at the begining, this may have been something that didn't happen for everybody. It may have been the result of a failed QTE or something (a victim of Cage's no game over strategy perhaps) but after saving everyone, Jodie gets trapped in the fire and the camera cuts to outside where all the homeless people are waiting and the guy (main homeless character guy) goes in and a bit later comes out with Jodie over his shoulder. It makes absolutely no sense when you think about it...
