Liam Loyalty Mission

It's just the writing. Much as I like the game, the writing in it is pure awful at times. It assumes the average player is about 10 years old and therefore we have relationships that are written for ten year olds and situations, characters and issues that are generally on par with that. MEA suffers as a whole for it. Something is very wrong when you read a letter from an STG agent that is overall professional and he calls the criminal a scumbag. There's no universe where I see that happening. It's just so out of place but... written for a 10 year old. Even my niece and nephew both around 13 understood that what Liam and Peebee did was really bad. One asked if it could be treason. Granted there is a great deal of talk about treason these days with regards to politics but still, that they take it so lightly isn't really helpful to society on whole. This sort of minimization of things and dumbing down of writing in general in all media has made society at large quite dense.

Exactly. And this is where I say you can tell good writing from shit writing because a good/great writer would sit back and look at what they created and then edit if by asking it that works. If it makes sense. If it fits the characters and the situations. Now if you want so much for your character to be new and green for the whole thing then a good writer would question the actions of peebee and Liam. They would tone them down so Ryder doesn't appear to be lacking in both balls and common sense. They would ask if everyone could buy that a green ryder would be okay with it. That they give you some recourse shows they know what they wrote requires recourse. But basically they are saying your ryder is a pushover idiot with no leadership skills, no common sense, green to the point of stupid because the rash actions of these two that are high risk action get fluffed off. Any writer worth their salt would have rewritten or scrubbed these two missions realizing that plenty of people would find the actions of these two crew too problematic to ignore. They would recognize the writing won't work because it won't be believable to enough people or that it would be out of character for many people playing their Ryder as serious and less green or with more common sense. My thoughts are their writers are probably greener than Ryder. Or they just don't care or even try for that matter.

Reyes is also a possibility, and one of the best romance in the game.

P.S. Am I the only one who does like Gil and does not want to change him in any way?
