All interactions with Katie in the new chapter felt off to me but I couldn't pinpoint why. I assumed it was because it was tied closely to the mafia plot I don't like. But when I installed alain's mod and was comparing script it dawned on me why it all felt off. Their dynamic just doesn't work anymore.
It's clear to anyone with half a brain that Ocean tried to replace the sibling taboo, which feels natural to all of us because incest is not socially acceptable, with a manufactured taboo of random mafia rules that dictate that she can fuck Zoey but not William for some reason. So under this new dynamic their sibling bond doesn't exist anymore and the teasing between them doesn't work. In chapter 4 Katie is threatening to a level that feels mean spirited. It's like she's itching to have something over William. It feels like she's trying to take advantage of him, especially when the interest variable is activated.
It feels wrong to me. It makes more sense that that would hate each other and see themselves as adversaries. That's why I feel like her entire personality shifted. She isn't the same Katie from ch1-3.
