Yeah, nailed it. And for what it's worth I suspect this is exactly where DPC is coming from, too. Two recent Quinn character moments that I think are revealing for what they say about how Quinn sees the world and how DPC sees Quinn: the first is when she describes the fall-out from the HOTs ceremony to Sage as "top notch high school drama"; the second is when Tommy expects her to apologise to him and she doesn't, ("Do you know me?") Hilarious, and also so refreshing to have a character not acquiesce to conventional ways of behaving.Yeah, I agree that Quinn is a really bad person. Her tragic background can justify (to an extent) bad life decisions, but cannot justify her being a manipulative bitch to other people, betraying them and using them to fulfill her own goals.
That doesn't mean though that you can't like Quinn. I personally love Quinn, she is by far my favorite LI - and it's not despite her character, but rather BECAUSE of it. I like Quinn for her being a bitch. Her many intimate moments or when she clearly regrets some of her actions show that she has depth as a character and she isn't one-dimensional. She is still a very bad person, but that's fine with me (and I guess with many other players who like her a lot). I hope that the relationship between her and MC will continue to develop further in the new chapter. My guess is that sooner or later she will get some sort of 'redemption arc' (maybe leading to some tragic accident). But when it comes to me, I don't need Quinn to be redeemed into a good girl. I want more of bad Quinn whom I find very interesting and hot.
Quinn is interesting because she's bad, and because she's vulnerable. The endless posts calling her out and cataloguing her list of wrong-doing are never going to convince us Quinn fans because they're answering a question that the game isn't asking, in my view. This is not a morality play.
