So are we not supposed to like Elaine? Because it seems like Killer7 just keeps on packing on the reasons why she sucks as a person. I get that she has the 'big picture' view with her family, but she is still terrible to Fiona.
I was happy to forgive the first set of shit she pulled because she apologized to Becca in front of the rest of the family and is trying to work it out with her, but this new set of shit is not okay.
She is ultimately responsible for Fiona's sister's killer getting off without punishment and she hasn't ever apologized for it in all this time? It's not like Fiona is a stranger, she is intimately involved with the family and has done so much for all of them. All that Elaine has done this whole time is sit in another city like a spider in her web while she tries to manipulate everyone.
I'm also not okay with how the MC is forced to respond to all of this. I don't see Fiona's response as bitter, I see it as justifiably angry and I don't think the MC should be forced to just 'leave it between them'. You have to take sides with a betrayal that big. It's like if you are friends with a couple and one of them cheats. You can't just stay friends with both.
I'm not saying we should throw Elaine out of the family or anything, but I would like for the MC to make it clear that he is standing with Fiona on this. Plus, if there isn't a moment in the future where Elaine comes clean about all of this and apologizes to Fiona in front of everyone, I'm kind of done with her.
Also, if whatever plan that the MC and Fiona have cooked up for the killer doesn't end with him so depressed that he drives his car off a cliff, then it won't be harsh enough.
All that being said, this is a great fucking game. The story is great, the characters are written sooo well, and you actually care a lot about what goes on in their lives. Well done, Killer7.
