That's so cliché and I'm quite tired of seeing that. Just once, I'd love to see a writer have a character like Quinn who doesn't learn her lesson in the end. That in turn allows the player/viewer/reader to learn the lesson for themselves and on her behalf. The tragic hero is a thousand times more interesting than the one who makes the predictable turn at the last minute and wins happiness in the end. Quinn can flirt with making the change, but ultimately she does not. The audience desperately wants her to make the change, but that's exactly why you don't give it to them.
If it's not clear already, I hate Hollywood. :giggle:

Its deeper than that, for what you love is the mask she wears, not who she truly is underneath it. Its got realism to it. Tragedy can still happen, but to add humanism to it truly takes it a step further.

It started with theory on the magic 8ball message.

Not thinking far enough. You gotta take it step further. Quinn DOES make the change. But she's so deep in shit, she's not allowed to fully step over into the light. And now she's got inner turmoil beyond "how do I get off scot free". She's still got to do what she has to do. Its not about the last minute change. Its the mid-story change, but still leading to the "oh I'm fucked" ending because she's still a bad-bad.

Quinn learns her lesson and still gets fucked. Player learns the lesson. The tragic hero is even more tragic for failing to save her. Salt everywhere. Drama everywhere. Thats the good shit.

And then you upped the ante. :KEK:

Not sure DPC will go that far, but yeah, if Quinn is going to go soft, I want it to happen soon, so her eventual demise by ep 13 or 18 or whatever is all the more bittersweet. I don't want some change of heart an episode before she gets yeeted. That shit has to fester for a while.

I mean maximum carnage make the character lovable, make the player invested, then yank that rug out from under them. I mean that is what he did with al. It made people so gun shy the tragic death has traveled here.:LOL:
