Hi and not in this theatre, chummer!He may be a little prick yes, but i don't see how he can be worse than Seymour, especially if you play LenaxIan, after Lena rejects him, he intentionally fucks her every job opportunity, wants to buy coffee shop so he can force her to whore herself for him, etc., Seymour is just evil.
Even on my IanxLena playthrough, she has a great working relationship with Seymour, impressed him early and what happens in your playthrough does not happen in mine. He even helps out Lena with health care bills and Ed/Molly´s Cafe, something he absolutely does not have to do and would not cross the mind of someone truly gone.
And that is one reason the game is so good. We have options and the story plays out quite differently depending on our choices. For instance, Perry can become someone we want to strangle at earliest opportunity or a loyal good friend, if we make the effort to help him with either Cherry or Emma.
