@silent-of-spirit replied to your post “Confession time? I saw the Reyes thing coming from a mile away.”
Personally I feel that his romance is like, REALLY RUSHED. I don't mean rushed as in writing, but rushed as in if you do all of the Kadara stuff one right after the other, it is just like bing bang boom the romance is done. Cool character, but I'm not a fan of the romance. I'll stick with my aliens. (As I said, personal opinion. Your mileage may vary.)
True. I’ve paced the Kadara part because I always pace the romances. But it does seem really fast to “get”.
Also, talking about MY impressions: maybe if he had a bigger part, I would’ve liked Reyes more, and cared more about him and his reveal. I already had a pretty good notion of who he was almost from the start, but if at least the game tried to make me develop stronger bonds, I would’ve felt more inclined to let him rule.
As it is, it feels like his tricking Sloane was cheap, and it makes me annoyed at him. And I don’t even like Sloane (on the contrary). And I didn’t care for the whole “oh look at you, loving the bad boy~ bad taste in men blabla”. Hm. Nah. Not doing it for me.
An addendum: (Ultimately, my problem is Reyes is that I don’t know who he is. I know what kind of snake Sloane is, and I know who I’m dealing with. Reyes feels like an interrogation mark who can and will stab Ryder in the back at the first opportunity.
And if he ever fucks up, it’s on Ryder. It’s 100% on Ryder. If he turns up to be horrible, she made a decision based on a guy she had literally one kiss with???? Like. YYYYEEEAAAH no.
He is interesting though, and I think what I lack is the emotional bond. As you said, it’s too rushed, and how am I supposed to overlook what he did just because there was some expensive alcohol involved? But if there was more, if Reyes had worked to make Ryder fall in love, then it would’ve been different.)
I don’t know. I need to make a choice, but I’m basically trying to decide for about forty minutes, and that says more about how I feel about Reyes than how I feel about Sloane (whom I despise).
