Because I want to write a story that interests me and if it sounds too cliché for you, you're perfectly free to play something else or even better to create your own.Alright well that's fair, I don't understand the purpose of adding ugly bastards though aside from the trolling. I feel like this game would've done the same without them
You're looking at the story from an omniscient point of view, so you know what's going on at any given time, but from the characters' point of view, that's not the case. The threat of a fat pig holding a grudge against their loved one is a serious threat to be taken into account, and may force them to adapt or do things they'd never have thought possible.
for me, antagonists are necessary to the evolution of the main character.
