I got a short personal story for you where I helped someone out and it bit me in the ass. I was like 17. I was walking to work at a fastfood joint. There was a woman whose car broke down, and she didn't know how to change a tire. She was like 25. She was kinda cute. So, I walked over and asked "Do you need any help?" She was thankful for my help, but not that thankful. After I was done changing her tire I asked her, "Could I get a ride to work?" She was like "No, I am in a hurry and I don't give rides to strangers." It was like 3 minutes by car or 15 minutes by foot up the road. It made me late for work and then I lost my job for being late.

Then people dare to ask me why i am a misanthrope. I don't agree with the rest of your post though, he is just using his power over Lena to gain sexual favour from her. The thing is not just about telling the situation to Lena, if she fucks him he tries to prevent that if not, nothing. Even he is aware he is wrong and apologise at the club. It won't be surprising to me that letting Lena go idea came from him to use it against her. He himself said he has power at the restaurant to shift things.

I don't feel there's anything particularly wrong with it. That woman was pretty right about her no riders for strangers policy, that's literally the start of half of creepy stalker movies for a reason. Are we seriously going to shit on her for not wanting to risk potential harm or death because a guy she saw for the first time in her life helped her to change a tire?

(a guy who is apparently still sore about it to this day, i might add. If Robert is supposed to possibly have similar attitude, then it hardly makes him more endearing)

Yeah, I get it. Stranger danger. He could've told her before helping her that he might need a lift because of the time crunch. A few (a lot of) bad apples have destroyed that strangers can't be trusted at all. He seemed genuine in helping her but I also get the part that it was a young woman who he was helping. Nothing wrong with sympathising though.

NGL, i'd both laugh and cry* if EK out of spite reworked Robert into actual decent if not outright better option than Ian.

*) cry with laughter, it's not something to be really sad about. well, other than development delay, ofc.

Robert was kind of a missed opportunity as far as being a decent male LI for Lena. Just a couple of small tweaks and he could easily jump to just behind Ian.

That being said, Robert is a great asshole. I think a lot of people have a hard time separating Robert the character and Robert as a person. He is supposed to be an unlikable douche canoe, so in that regard he is an excellent character. It is why he keeps popping up despite how much people hate him, if you hate Robert, Robert the character is doing his job. He's like Joffery from Game of Thrones.

I agree, his execution as a mid-tier douchebag is excellent, and he totally delivers in this role. It's just sad it loses a bit of impact when almost every other guy is also an asshole ;/

I think the game deliberately made all the Love Interests (except Holly) horseshit in an effort to make Ian and Lena the "canon" couple. Don't get me wrong, loyal Ian and loyal Lena is my favourite route, and I'm not taking anything away from their interactions but I feel that's partly down to game design. This thread frequently talks about how bad Lena's LI's are but what about Ian's? His options include a vindictive hag, a self-righteous and spoiled little shit, a cheater hung up on Axel, and a narcissistic yandere. Take your pick.

Vindictive Hag meaning Minerva, spoiled little shit meaning Cindy, cheater hung up on Axel being Cherry. Wait who would be the narcissistic yandere ?

Baby trapper Alison :KEK: Shapesnatcher , actual homewrecker. She just needed one slip-up from a committed Ian.

Not sure where the homewrecker part comes from but yeah even I see the baby trapper vibes. Like does she try to ruin shit in a loyal ian and loyal lena playthrough ? which mind you i have never done, i just play them as sluts or one is loyal while the other is a complete slut usually.

She's relentless in pursuing Ian. Even if Ian gets into a relationship she doesn't care. Making an excuse of sleeping together once and how would it feel. Bimbo Alison is definitely baby-trapping Ian and taking him for herself.
