i think nicole might be my favorite protagonist in any video game ever

yeah, she's absolutely a bad person. let me ask you this: how many video games have protagonists that are good people? how many games have "anti-heroes"? how many games justify a flawed character by having them do something heroic in the end? it's repetitive. nicole is not good, but she's interesting. even when she is objectively being an asshole- "YOU BULLIED A GAY GIRL INTO BEING STRAIGHT!"- she's still a strong lead character. the writing is awesome enough to really sell someone who would be a paper-thin antagonist in a lesser game. and at the end of the day, i still love her.

ari route is so good what the hell
