So glad to be playing an update as this is one of my very favorite titles. I did forget, though, how much I despise the MC in this game. A yelling, screaming, crying baby drama queen who does not deserve one bit of all the pussy he gets.

One of the fine fellas on another gaming thread taught me a trick for these types of MCs which is NOT to name them using my own real name. It actually works pretty well as it shifts my perspective from like.. an FPS to watching a movie character. I guess I'll just have to restart as "Derp Diggler" and I'm sure that will alleviate my pain. :)

Thank you Caribdis for a wonderful update. Best Christmas present by far. Peace!

Exactly! "What" is his FAVORITE WORD! "What? Who? I don't understand! What's going on?! Why? How?" often with the stutter "W-what?!". Also he's as easy to startle or surprise as a 5 year old. Plus the guy works in punctuation and capital letters like an artist would in clay or oil. Stage 4 derp, no doubt.

What I think about most when I read his dialog is... :)

Honestly, i've never used my own real name, i always set the dev's default or if there isn't any i just use ''Anon". And Orion behavior as a MC never bothered me, but i didn't give it much thought, it just felt natural in the story progression.

I was the opposite until recently. I always used my own name as I liked to imagine myself as the main character. Then I started hitting these titles where I not only didn't want to be the MC, I actively wanted to smack him upside the head. It honestly kept me from getting too far into some of the titles because I couldn't handle it.

Another smart user clued me into your method so now I start with my name but if the MC is too derpy I remake em with a junk name. Good on you. :)

I always name my MCs after Dota heroes. Don't ask me why, I started with it and it stuck.

Orion for me is called Jah'rakal.
