Controversial opinion, but I feel that all games after the first one were only held up by the characters and worldbuilding - hell, ME2's plot IS the characters

Solid choice, he is a bit flawed in the first game (obsessed with pointing fingers at Saren (admittedly only being 1.05% wrong about him)); but he and Hackett are the OG superiors that have your back rather than constantly second-guessing you.

The latter even set his foot on a terrorist-owned ship, imagine the favors he had to pull in order to do that discreetly just to talk with you in person...

That's it, then? Any argument for him being alive doesn't have a leg to stand on?

I don't know about Zuko being less strong, he did betray his father (and temporarily abandon his girlfriend) just to follow his moral compass; his runtime (and his first faux-turnaround at the end of book 2) highlight how difficult it was for him.

Sokka only had do smarten and humble himself a bit, which is no easy feat either, but easier by comparison.

... which is why if I had to pick a favorite from A:TLA, I'd choose Iroh.
Zuko was never really evil, but, where he took his time to look at his moral compass, Iroh had to experience geomagnetic reversal and made it out alive.
WITHOUT a kind uncle nudging him in the right direction.

That's the second mention from Discworld, I guess Pratchett really knew how to write his characters

While I enthusiastically agree with the whole thing, I can somewhat get behind RenderDoc's "making it configurable would take some work".

However, Flatpak's "fucking cry about it" attitude is why I'll avoid using Flatpak for as long as possible.

To be fair, considering how many times he's been killed he has to be dead by now

pardon my english

If I had a nickel for every time I used bad English grammar I'd have two nickels, which is not a lot because my country has very high income taxes.

Nice pick, personally if that was my answer I would attribute it to how little we know of him.
Without any doubt, they really put a lot of effort into making him look and sound like... whatever he is.

Thanks for the link too, although it feels like that animation is too... expressive? I think the g-man would have less pronounced expressions, like, not going full >:3 when talking to Alyx.

I had a feeling A:TLA would be mentioned, I would've sworn Zuko would be the guy...

I think they underused Sokka tbh. Such a good character yet his role in the gaang wasn't shown as often as I'd like.

Sounds like me tbh, being a bit silly and causing trouble for people around me with no ill will
(though ~~un~~fortunately I'm still alive)

Chiquita (or a parent company idc).

Among the many other bad things they did, they knowingly AND REPEATEDLY hired terrorists, and also moved the US to overthrow the Guatemalan government just for a few labor laws.
Is it even possible to get an order of magnitude more cynical than that?
