Oh, it's big here too. I just find it annoying when it's used as the introduction to the cast and it's all directed at "you" ... but I know this is a "me" thing.
Only reaction I found plausible in this game was grandma's reaction. She beat the shit out of MC's mother as she deserved. Since MC is a pussy, I hope she'll have a go with ex wife too. :LOL:

Yea, that definitely didn't make me want to get back to this game ...

Also, isn't the ex dead? If not, that might make me a bit more interested, but probably not much.

I'm hoping she's not, but I also have no beef with her and the sister having fooled around. Or their ill conceived plan. People do dumb things.

Why does the "hero" have to be mocked by everyone he's supposed to be helping? And why is it supposed to be funny?
This is how Scottish people talk to each other. It isn't mocking, it is called banter. We can dish it out and we can take it back.

Well, that is true up to a point. If a scotsman gives you an "oi" sound that is a soft warning. Then there is that eewwwwwlllll noise like a distressed cat that is the hard warning. After that someone is getting a Glasgow smile with a broken bottle if they don't shut it.

They say she did but a cliché is a cliché for a reason.

I know a few Scotsmen to know a little bit about Scottish banter and I don't think it's what it is in the game. The banter thing is what the guy who drove the bus is doing. Everyone walks over MC, backstabs him, make him angry then he accepts and forgives them. Btw, whole story's starting point was MC was unable to forgive and forget so they put him in a jail. I'll probably give the game a shot when it's done but no need to follow it update by update tbh.

It has nothing to do with them fooling around ... that kind of thing I expected before I even started playing.

Just the overall "Misunderstood (bad) husband/father now has to save and love everyone, while everyone taunts and degrades him all the time" vibe I'm getting doesn't really interest me.

It settles down and he grows a pair. A lot gets explained as the game goes on. Don't let the beginning turn you off to the rest of the game. :>)

When does this happen? I haven't played last few updates (maybe just one, not sure) and it was not there, at all. Also, what's being explained? I don't shy away of spoilers.:unsure:

I'm Scottish, living in Scotland for over 40 years. I think I know what I'm talking about on the banter. The only stabbing in the back is the plan with Marie. Deb was opposed to the plan but was forced to go along with it.

Then I met Scottish people that they are decent side of the scale.

I love how you said 'the only' as if you don't know it's the entire fucking story and almost everyone on it. Oh btw, fucking MC's wife behind his back was not backstabbing, eh?

Banter isn't used with outsiders, by anyone with sense. If they didn't use it with you they either didn't feel close enough to do so, or knew you'd overreact.
They did use it with me, they were harsher to each other tbh but it was not what they do to MC in this game. That old bloke in the game, his stuff was close to what they did.
