Yeah I think this probably key. We all understand (I hope) why that path exists given the larger context of the setting, but nothing we know about Kane so far or in flashbacks (or events told) tell us that Kane is naturally a submisisve personality (or, not that I saw at the least) unlike say Seth who most definitely has been/is.
Kane and Olivia didn't grow up in poverty. He lived in poverty as an adult. As for the rest, re-read my post about whether Callista had a choice at all... Also, don't forget that here we have a dystopia in a post-apocalyptic world, and it's a bit strange to me to see you complaining that Kane wasn't asked for consent or that the chances of Kane dying are greater than 0...
The problem with part of that theory is that, it beings us back round to the question/argument of when did she have Seth and where and how did she keep it a secret (from 2 kids) etc etc etc....
According to who exactly? This is another one of things that can differ drastically depending on whether sub or dom path and who you may or may not be chasing as a LI. (specifically referring to Olivia here, especially on the dom path and chasing her. She cares more about you than any single person alive and is very much 'on your side').
I judge Kane only on the merit of the scenes he is in. For example, throughout ep.6 Elena makes slip-ups in Kane's presence that should alert him to what's going on (Fireplace conversation: she channels her inner Dominic Toretto and talks about family; Poolside scene: she almost says "daughter" referring to Olivia). By that point Kane knows exactly what kind of environment he is in and should be paying attention to every word and facial expression of the people 'above' him. And he kinda does that with the department evaluations - Veronica wants someone smart and brave, Juliette - cruel and sadistic, etc. By paying attention he gets all the way to K9 and his 2-seater Bugatti.
Well..he should...you're right lmao...not sure he entirely does though hehe.
Ehh...even as a dom player...I'm not entirely sure very much of it (if at all really) is down to Kane himself (or by paying attention) lol...he still a little clueless and certainly getting every helping hand along the way to progress.
I’m just saying what I think personally Lol Things do drastically change based on your choices with characters, with Olivia,Juliette, Dominique… also Tess also said this.. if you find it interesting…
Nadia I would question...but as we already know, has vastly differing content depending on paths and what you suggest with her really isn't shown on the dom path, at least not yet.
That literally made me LOL for real (and good job I wasn't drinking coffee at the time haha)...but that leads along with my previous post. I do completely agree and as noted in Tess' post which you added, especially on the 'dom' path (which in reality should be re-labelled...the not being walked all over path) it will be nice to actually see a pro-active Kane, making decisions for himself and taking control of his life/situation as opposed to (as I said earlier), by and large receiving lots of helping hands and favors to get where he currently is.
And there lies the problem - a storyteller must find a way to seamlessly connect these dots. Otherwise, you get 'Somehow, Palpatine returned' kind of crap.
I don't agree that Kane is an idiot, he's just a man with no specialised training who's put in an extreme situation and has to learn literally on the fly despite all his knowledge from his upbringing.
This dude had to have it spelled out for him that he was being felt up. I don't see him being Kaiser Sose.
*le-sigh*...you're right...
Hmm, I personally wouldn't trust Amy with a Bugatti. She's clumsy AF, that's how she ended up in here. Better put that immigrant Svetlana to work while Amy does what she does best - serving you on her knees.In the meantime I'm gonna have a coffee while I sit in my lounger and watch Amy wax the Bugatti...poor girl working up a sweat
Im not questioning the game or why Kane needs to be in trouble from a gameplay aspect. That reasoning works fine.Kane and Olivia didn't grow up in poverty. He lived in poverty as an adult. As for the rest, re-read my post about whether Callista had a choice at all... Also, don't forget that here we have a dystopia in a post-apocalyptic world, and it's a bit strange to me to see you complaining that Kane wasn't asked for consent or that the chances of Kane dying are greater than 0...
Everyone has a chance to die in this world, and as you know, only 3 characters are guaranteed not to die. And personally, I wouldn't want to play as Kane if he, like Olivia, was assigned to some important position like Warden right after the events started, where he would live quietly and peacefully. Where's the challenge then? The game would lose interest if Kane was invulnerable to failure (and even death). I think that's an obvious fact.
I am sure that in time the whole truth will be revealed to us, and then you and I with a clear head will be able to assess what happened and make appropriate decisions.
