I think narrowing down peoples dislike of Bosun to just his physical features is a bit simplistic. While his body wasn't the best (nor would it have made sense for him to be physically fit, given his backstory) the main objection to him was as a protagonist he wasn't a compelling character to follow, if you are going to ask players to spend the second half of the game to tear down everything they had spent the first part building you need a protagonist you can root for, either because there motivation is compelling or because they are a genuinely funny and likable character.
My main hope for the rework is twofold; that the new second half protagonist, whatever form they take ends up being more interesting to follow. They could be the worst character in the world in a moral or ethical sense as long as they can be compelling and that this new protagonist both involves more varied corruption scenes so that the scene itself along with character interactions afterwards can be more interesting to follow rather than reducing characters down to one dimensional fuckpuppets as that doesn't make for a compelling cast of characters to follow and the game up till the second half had been as much about the interactions of the cast as it had been about the strategy gameplay.
