Thanks for some additional information, those giveaways were not that clear for me, possibly for others also. I'm not arguing your vision of Ghost, that would be stupid, I'm just conveying how I have received and interpreted it.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
We don't know how capable Ghost is, maybe he's been able to create Lisa in that 15 month time frame. Maybe that was his escape from "injuries" 'caused by Valery. Spider was impressed by his ability in creating Lisa so it's safe to assume that he is very capable. As for his apartment, it is explained that there was an outbreak that is partly responsible for his living arrangements. Judging by Frank's words 'bout that place Ghost is not in a bad position at all. Simply put, I didn't get the impression of Ghost as someone who jumps to opportunity of casual sex. That impression was brought by the fact that appealing, charming (office interactions with future team members), well equipped guy was without female companionship (casual or otherwise) for over 15 months.
Korben Dallas comparison is both bad and good, for the same reason, choice. It's bad because Korben, unlike Ghost, had no choice. His meet with Leeloo was by chance, start of his adventure was forced by Government/Military/Person(s) he detests very much. Was he in the need of the spark/adventure to wake him up? Who knows, possibly. Would he jump to that particular adventure given a choice? Definitely not. So why it is a good comparison? 'Cause illustrates my point very good. Besson "needed" Korben on that adventure, he did not give him choice. You "need" Ghost on this adventure, don't give "him", or rather in this case to player, a choice. How will you accomplish it, through unavoidable sex scene or better constructed action choice, is up to you as author. Everything else 'bout Claire and car is of secondary importance here, problem lies in choice.
It seems to me that your initial idea of unavoidable sex scene was good, certainly better than how it is now. For whatever reason you decided to implement that action choice, it was the wrong reason and this choice implementation is suffering for it. How it is implemented now it almost feels like you were pissed at people complaining about not been given a choice, so you gave them a "choice", either see the scene or fuck off.
