My friend chastised me into finishing Claire's story. As my 2nd Run through the game I found having to pretty much do everything Leon did kind of dull, but I do appreciate that a lot of it was smartly truncated to cut down on the repetition.

Other than that, it's a massive improvement over the Leon story because Claire is infinitely more interesting and cool than Leon is. She's so much more engaging than him that it makes me think this should be entirely her game and he just gets removed. Claire rules
