Their pathes cross eventually around a story of gruesome events. While both don't feel that different, I enjoyed playing with him a little more. ![]() Examening the crime scene and looking for evidence was nice. The second one is a detective, who's best described with "has a stick up his ass". he doesn't meet women anymore after a while.) So it wasn't that off putting as a whole, but I still had to roll my eyes very hard here and there. It pops up here and there again, but this first encounter is already the worst it gets better after that. How easily she is fooled by some nice words, how all those simple women are the same. At the very beginning of the game he meets a woman, and it is all about getting her to eat out of his palm. The first and main one is Tim, a little thief, who detests real work and whose trope is, that every women is easily impressed by him.
