I mean, it wouldn't make sense if he wasn't there considering the endingJust discovered this game and I really like it, but the one thing I'm not of is looking at that ugly old man all the time. So I made a slight edit to the game just to get rid of the pictures of him that show up in the dialog box. If anyone would like a copy of that to play it without having to look at his face non stop let me know. lol
Also, it is possible to soft-lock the game if you don't stick to pure evil/good choices
