You forgot to mention that she thinks the MC is just another Martin, making the girls do what you want just because you're an asshole.
The way she treats everyone, she's closer to being Martin than the MC could ever be.
When you form an opinion and steadfastly believe it and nothing else, nobody and nothing can change your mind. Her only redeeming point is being mom to Becca. She even talks smack about Sandra to her face. How are we supposed to like someone this unlikable?
We were supposed to be excited. I've never wanted to lynch a fictional character this much.
And they'd leave us alone with this monster? Shame on you, new family. Love you, but shame on you still.
(This is not shame on the game, nor shame on the dev, but shame on the family for leaving us alone with someone who can't see beyond the flimsiest of evidence because she wants to see something that isn't there.)
I love the game, I truly do. It needed some tension and drama but Granny is the most obstinate wench I've ever had the displeasure of knowing.
First impressions last forever, they say. And my first impression of her was NOT favourable.
Then again, it's good to get all this "I hate you because you're Martin's son so you must be just like him" and "You're all sick in the head because I say you are!" out of the way as early as possible.
Reading the text...first, second, third and fourth impressions are all the same.
She had every reason to believe that the MC was like Martin, although she kept tabs on him she could not know details of what happened, she knew that he broke up with his girlfriend, and from the fact that he "looked" depressed she could have assumed where his mind was going but all of that was assumptions and not facts, so she needed to confirm it first hand. Indeed she was blah blah tadda yadda blah yadda....
Bollox. She knows everything about us. Can say this for a fact as I only recently played this in full...and finished it 2 days ago. She knows exactly what we are like. She lied in our first meeting. She knows where we were, that we have had no contact with our father since we left home, knows our gf cheated on us, knows where we live...knows we are debt etc etc, even with her 'tab keeping' becoming less.
Shall I continue for you?
Yet...you expect any reasonable, sane, half-intelligent person to accept/think she doesn't
also know what kind of person we are? Rofl.....right. She is a liar, deceitful, manipulative, controlling, hostile, demeaning and all without remorse.
Then, to make things interesting, as someone she is apparently scared about (or scared of consequences and reactions)....does she think it would be better to continue no contact and keep our father in the dark or piss him off completely knowing what kind of man he is? Yeah...let's piss him off and hope he doesn't try to exact some kind of revenge...I mean...for a seemingly intelligent person...she pretty fucking stupid also.
For the record, after my first post in this thread, I did forgive her. You know what? I wish I hadn't. In fact, despite my own feelings for the character (as perceived) I think my biggest complaint is that even as a fairly nice guy, the fact we are so damn passive with her is even more annoying. Why couldn't we get a conversation with her like we have with Mary at the dinner table? Our sweet lover-sisters are not going to get their panties twisted just because we raise our voice to 'granny' once or twice, or even that they learn what an utter bitch she has been/still can be.
