Is the MC going to visually change too? At the moment he looks kind of average/clueless/scared like you said, it'd be cool if he eventually looks more like a confident, handsome, mafia-esque guy like Antonio or the new capo. In terms of clothing, hair style, posture, etc.One of the main themes of the game is character development. Mc is going from average/clueless/scared to basically the opposite. He will change a lot throughout the story.
But I do not believe in instant gratification. So, for now, we will have to follow an MC that is simply thinking about survival in an environment that is unbeknownst to him.
*Edit*
Of course, there are so many times in the script I just want to write it so MC act in a specific behavior that makes him not appear so weak and fragile (which is why many people can find him annoying) but once you have planned a characters story, character development, backstory, and personality- you are not in control of that character anymore. You cannot write what you want to do in a given situation, you have to write what he/she will do in a given situation.
And a small grammar issue - the correct word is "anyway", not "anyways". I'm not sure if you're are just using it as a character quirk or you just write like that, but it annoyed the hell out of me, haha. But overall this game has some of the best writing/dialogue/characters of all the games I've played on this site, great job!
