For some reason, I didn't get the notification for you quoting me on this message, so I apologize for not responding.
My main playthrough is pretty much developed by how I would react in real life so I guess I'm kind of a douche. I've been called some form of "asshole" my whole life so it's a reasonable observation that I'd bond with someone like Quinn. She's not your cup of tea, I get it. No hate towards you but when you only see someone through 1 dimension, you're gonna miss out on a LOT of layers of that person.
Sorry, but no - I understand her 'tragic backstory' and 'depth', but I still don't care about any of that. If someone chooses to be an asshole, they can keep all the rest of their hidden onion layers to themselves. Nobody has a choice in how they grow up, it's the end result that counts, and in that she's just as bad as the rest.
Plus that whole excuse reminds me of the stock 'just a harmless joke' phrase assholes are so fond of. It's just a convenient mask to hide that they enjoy hurting others. I myself am very misanthropic in general, but I always try to be decent to people in real life, I don't see why I should be rude or outright mean to them by default. But boy, if someone triggers me, I'm going to rip them a new one.
And I don't even buy that Quinn is going to change. Quinn changing her ways because of 'love' would be the most hilarious and nonsensical thing in the game if it happened, because it goes completely against her character. And if that's not the case, one can't really argue she's changing it because of MC's 'positive influence' when he's just as bad as her, lol.
