Eric is the best thing about the game. Max does all sorts of weird shit yet everyone tries to pretend he is having some sort of love story. Perving on your sisters and mother by watching them shower and sleep isn’t exactly “hero” material. His holier than thou attitude combined with the fact he is doing the exact same thing Eric is annoyed me. I would actually enjoy Max if he was more like Bobby from Bad Bobby Saga. But with Max, it seems every developer, or maybe just his fans, try to shoehorn in some weird romance.I've NEVER understood the hype around that bastard Eric. Even in the original game, I stopped playing because of his excessive importance.
If a game is tagged as incest, THAT'S what interests me. Some jerk stealing the hero's family is a no-go. The harem is for the hero, not for other jerks.
With Eric there is no pretense that this is a romance. He is there to use them for his pleasure and will say, or do, just about anything he needs to in order to make it happen. He knows he is the bad guy and doesn’t care.
