personally I'm on board when comes to acknowledge "he" is a creep but cmon really? this is just a game are u guys 4 really trying to logically explain motives of these characters? It's just the same ridiculous argument as the people trying to make with starwars and what's logic and possible and what's not..really? it's just the fiction guys, let it go and have fun or don't play at all, simple.
PS. I'm not the hater or fanboy just some logic..
I get the feeling that it wasn't the dev's original intentions to make him into be a creep, it's just turned out that way, the longer the game has gone on. (It is his very first game after all.)
The MC in Melody by comparison, hasn't shown any signs of real creepiness, which could be one of several differences
MrDots and his team wanted for that particular game and it's characters.
Halfway through Chapter 1 of DMD though, F tries to talk himself out of even giving her massages, such is his paranoia that he knows that he's doing the wrong thing. But being around D is clearly his weakness (his kryptonite if you like),
as it is for D being around you, the MC.
And just like most of us who have played this game, we've found her truly irresistible, just like the MC has, and unable to resist her.
But as you said, it's only a game. I'm actually surprised that there's so much focus on this.
I mean the MC is hardly Eric! XD
