I'm much more unsure about the MC's bartender friend. A very smooth bastard, he resembles a pimp, a smuggler and a drug dealer rolled into one. I can’t shake the feeling that his knife is already aimed at the MC’s back.
Yeah... I don't think Darkblue did accidentally show us Steve in this shopping mall... Steve was there for a reason... And the Emma's picture was taken there... So... It's an accident he was there, he has an own agenda, he works with fake Wainstein, Jason (or dirty cops) or he's on MC's side and watch his six...

I happen to agree, it's a relatively common gambit - the trusted friend is really the bad guy. The corrupt cop was involved with the Weintein character so it may make some sense that the bartender is on his own Charlotte/Emma agenda, separate from that. Depending on how much story is left to tell, it could be that the dirty cop confronting MC and getting killed happened too early to be the final twist in the tale (as far as plot, that is).

Personally I think that was a red herring. it was perfect timing, MC sees Steve being weird in the mall, then later that night the house gets broken into by someone who took a picture of them right as we saw Steve. it seems too obvious.

I have no doubts he has his own agenda, but it probably isn't malicious, I hope

My theory is that if you are on the Charlotte path, then at some point you will be able to have Steve and Lucy meet and hit it off.

I don't know. Emma was left alone with Steve and nothing happened. Charlotte and Emma visited Steve without the MC there to protect them. I do think that Steve will play a bigger part in the ending of the story, but I'm betting that he has the MC's back.

Perhaps his time to act simply has not come yet. I dunno, maybe it is his attire, and sometimes his impudently lustful expression on his face that make him look like a villain pimp who has to pretend to be a respected bartender :)
But seriously, I can't point it out directly, but something feels off with him. Why was he in the store at the moment when MC and Emma were there, and later photos appeared from there? Even if he has nothing to do with this, it’s still a very strange scene, why show it at all, and focusing the MC’s attention on this “Oh, it’s Steve, what is he doing here?”
Yes, the MC let it slide and forgot about it, but we remember about the “rifle on the wall,” right? If it appears in the plot, it means it was put there on purpose :)
Basically, it seems like every man in Hillside other than the MC turns out to be a traitor, a rapist, a murderer, a psycho, or an douchebag at best. So I don’t see a better figure for the role of a vile traitor than Steve. He is the best option for the Wolfenstein gang to get close to the MC & Charlie unnoticed. I'll be glad to be wrong about this, but for now the game proves me right :)

Or Darkblue threw a piece of meat among us hungry... (or mushrooms if you're a vegetarian...)
