He doesn't tell Charlotte because he doesn't want to get her hopes up, without knowing exactly what evidence the guy has. Emma is also right there and he doesn't want to alarm her. He doesn't tell Agent Fox partly for the same reason as Charlotte and partly because he doesn't believe that they can get the job done. They've been rather ineffective so far.
That might be one of the best things I've ever read.
Your spelling could use some work.
so you are saying you are going to yank everyone's pizzle. You damn Pizzle yanker
The MC meets Agent Fox shortly after catching Johno, and his reasoning for not telling her is revealed:
I think you've overdone it with the amount of alcohol in the game. Considering how much Charlotte drinks (and not just drinks, she drinks VODKA, no snacks), she should be wasted almost all the time. However, she acts like she's sober, which is simply impossible considering the above.
I mean you do build tolerance over time functioning alcoholics are a thing for a reason
The thing is, her everyday behavior doesn't make her look like an alcoholic. And considering how much she drinks, she is an alcoholic.
Some people have a higher tolerance for alcohol than others, especially if they've been doing it for a long time. Which I suspect is the case with Charlotte, we see that she drinks until she literally passes out.
Look at her in everyday life: she drives a car, she takes care of her family, she works. Her friends and colleagues don't see the signs of alcoholism. Even her sister doesn't see it (she knows Charlotte drinks, but she doesn't know how much, and since she doesn't see the consequences, she doesn't worry as much as she should). Her hands don't shake in the morning. She looks great. She plays sports and can easily outrun the MC. Yes, she is in better shape than the MC (not counting physical strength and combat skills). Years of constant drinking of strong alcohol must have left their mark. But they don't. So there's a discrepancy there.
I don't see Charlotte drinking all day, do you? She drinks when she has to deal with something particularly stressful, as a coping mechanism. We do see her wake up with a hangover a few times, so she absolutely does feel it. Whether or not you would see it on her in terms of appearance would also depend on other factors. Such as does she take care of herself otherwise, with diet and exercise? Yes, we see that she does.
Which happens almost every day, let's be honest.
I can only remember the shower scene with Lucy (and even then there was no emphasis on the hangover).
That's why s/he said "functioning alcoholic" - the very thing is that it's hard to tell they're alcoholics because they are able to go about their daily routine functioning as "normal".
It's just hard to think that long-term consumption of large quantities of strong alcohol should not leave noticeable traces.
Come on, we're talking about vodka. If it were wine or beer, I would still believe it. But if you drink as much vodka in an evening as Charlotte did (and she drank quite a lot, and without snacks)... She would not only no longer be able to have meaningful conversations with other people after that, but even walk normally.
Don't you remember how she would gulp down a glass of vodka and immediately pour another one? Here both the strength of the alcohol and its quantity are important, as well as the absence of any food. Plus consistency.
I think you're looking too hard at this. Some people (even those you would be surprised at) can handle it, and the more you drink, the more tolerant of it you become (generally speaking). Ultimately though, it's not something that's important in terms of the story, just like showing whether or not she snacks between pours, or resets with a tactical puke, etc. is not important. We don't see everything, only what's needed to tell the story.
Maybe.
It just seems to me that the developer overdid it in this matter, that's all. This is what makes me look closely and doubt. Charlotte was shown drinking vodka like water too often and too much.
Well like TonyMurray I always assumed we don't see everything for one and it has been awhile since I played that part of the story. But just going off more or less I remember how I felt and what I can recall. But her gulping them down quickly I assumed was more a recent thing not something that she did in the past because of how she is living with a man in her house. Cause if I recall it showed something like 4 or 5 bottles. I always assumed that was over time and not a recent deveolopment otherwise I think it would of been more obvious she was doing so , especially to the MC.
