True. We're fucking one of the future leaders, Tiffany, and possibly another in the future, Claudia. If anything, they'll let us do whatever we want since we're the face of the organization.Fuck them i'm not leaving i'm taking over
Yep, I feel the same. We're at the bottom still. We can't just expect these level 4s and 5s to change their character or to be able to challenge them because the MC is involved. There was no way we would overcome the gap. For example, Even if Lexi is badly matched against the MC's power, she'll still annihilate him.Wow, the Nico hate is surprisingly strong here. Flinging MC into space isn't even an arsehole move; she was literally ordered to kill MC by her boss. If she hadn't, somebody else would have.
The only time she has really been an arsehole, other than her abrasive speech (sticks and stones, mates), is when she decided to let MC do or die against Valravn contrary to their initial agreement. And, honestly, that was clearly a case of narrative convenience. Dexter wanted MC's hero persona on their side, so it made no narrative sense to have him send MC against a stronger opponent without any genuine reassurances, which means Dexter (and Xanthe) couldn't later state that their promises were fake. Simultaneously... we all obviously want the chance to have MC defeat Valravn perfectly, and Brianna needs her spotlight. Nico simply had to take the fall.
Don't get me wrong, she definitely is an absolute douchnozzle (and probably a eugenecist-equivalent), but she hasn't exactly gone out of her way to demean the MC. Frankly, more than enough character in this game are jerks, starting with Deryl.
If nothing else, she has almost certainly saved Brianna's life. Love Brianna, so that wins her a tonne of points in my book.
Honestly, people are becoming far too sensitive when perceiving slights against the MC. Relax. MC isn't OP (yet). He's quite low on the absolute power rankings (and probably incredibly high on the proportional rankings). Enjoy his growth.
At the end of the day,
the true treasure is the harem we make along the way.
...Maybe I went overboard with censoring spoilers...
It also shouldn't even be a surprise. We knew before meeting Nico that she was a selfish, arrogant bitch. One who also looks down on anyone below the 3rd level. Is it right? No, but that's how she is, just like how Ella feels no remorse for the people's lives she ruined. The strong typically don't care how the weak feel. People like Nyx, Alexis, Clark, Malik and Lucius are rare.
The Valravn fight managed to change her view though, at least for the MC, and earn her respect. Enough respect to the point that she came as soon as possible to help against SIN. Sure, she was there for them mostly, but she made sure the MC didn't get caught up in it. Then when we "saved" her from Cole, she proceeded to fuck them up when he threatened to kill someone.
Don't get me wrong, Nico is still a bitch and I wouldn't want that to change. I just don't think the things she did warrants the huge hate she gets. Plus, I took her getting horny from us beating Valravn and telling us to reach the 3rd level as an invitation to fuck. I'm going to fuck the bitch out of her, several inches at a time.
