with both Lara Croft and Zoe Castillo getting their nose rings, I may have to consider one.
Hi Zoe.How did all that plastic surgery you got feel? Was it painful? D:

Hi Zoe.
Lol, that would break the game for me!Yeah and I also installed a filter between your brain and your mouth so that you no longer whine about your psychological problems to every single person you meet on during your adventure
didn't we fix most of her problems by the end of df?Yeah and I also installed a filter between your brain and your mouth so that you no longer whine about your psychological problems to every single person you meet on during your adventure
The days of our youth are fleeting; lets live without regrets.
Not really. (SPOILERS AHEAD!) She still doesn't really know what she wants to do in life, she still doesn't really know what happened to Reza, and now she's in a coma. About all that she really managed to accomplish for herself (other than the adventures themselves) was to learn that she had a sister who had already died and to help her "move on".
"Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives…be somewhere else!"
I think, based on what happened to her and what she participated in, she has matured immensely. In other words, if / when she wakes up from the coma, I believe she'd have a couple of directions she would like to pursue. I don't refer to anything specific, but the experiences she had, they tend to put some perspective into one's head.

Actually someone wrote a question the gamer.no Q&A article where he expressed an attitude towards Zoë similar to the one you have shown, and Ragnar stated that she has grown since the last game and will continue to grow during the game.
April Ryan is my friend,
Every sorrow she can mend.
When i visit her dark realm,
Does it simply overwhelm.
I think it's actually inevitable.

On a related note, it's interesting to observe that all three characters in Dreamfall have their "fans" and "anti-fans". April's transformation caused huge debates, Kian is... well... rather underdeveloped, if I want to be nice, and while I rather liked Zoe's hesitant approach to young adulthood, I can also understnd that it could be grating on some nerves. I wonder if it was intentional to create such controversy, or they just sketched the basic character attributes, and they happened to turn out this way?

Well, in my experience, characters tend to develop by themselves as the story goes by, sometimes even surprising the writer him/herself. I don't know, I'm no genius writer, and yet it has happened to me, so I'm guessing it must also happen to actual professionals like Tornquist.
And it is good that they are both liked and disliked - that means they are real. I mean, look around. Look at people. We all have good and bad traits. We all have people who like us and people who don't - and the sooner we come to terms with that, the better. There are no people who are simply hateful or perfect - and so there shouldn't be in a game that claims to have a good story. Probably the reason why no one here practically ever mentions Zack - he was quite plain, no good traits whatsoever. Maybe if he had been a little more developed, he'd have had something remotely interesting to say...
Yea, it is interesting how, sometimes when you are making a character and you want it to have certain qualities. But as you write, even though you try your hardest to get the person to take the shape you want, it simply refuses. And then accepting this and letting what comes to come, suddenly the character is not only very different from the original idea - (s)he also has a lot more personality. Not that I'm a genius either... but imagination really is a bit like magic: chaotic and hard to control
this room has no outer walls
Sure. It's a actually a "scientific" fact of storytelling - the better you are, the more tendency your characters have to try and get out of your control
Yeah, I agree here, but that wasn't the question. What interests me more is if the controversy is intentional or not.

Sorry. Well, I don't know if I'm understanding the question now either, but here are my thoughts:
-I think that the minute Tornquist decided to make April a "secondary" character in favor of a new heroine, controversy was a given. Not only that - he decided to have April do a 180 degree turn and transform her into a dark, lost character who is "passive" and "unwilling to help". The LACK of this qualities in TLJ's April is what we loved about her and what kept the game rolling. I mean, that was bound to make some hearts bleed.
-In the case of Zoe, I don't think her character was intended to cause controversy, but her quick disposition to snap out of her slumber and take action looked to me as a way to redeem her from the hate she was going to receive at first, after taking April's place as the main character of the story. That didn't save us from her initial compulsive monologuing about her depression, though
-In the case of Kian, I'm convinced he wasn't meant to cause controversy or to incite derision... But he ended doing so just because of lack of development. A real pity. But like everyone says, Dreamfall Chapters may just be the solution for that. Fingers crossed.
Did I get it right this time?
