![]() Yes he did abduct them, but romancing him teaches him a better way at looking at the world and give him acceptance. as Eric does these abusive/criminal things prior to MC arriving in Verona Beach (that's the reason you find a chipped weapon trapped in the dunj on your first meeting with Isaac).Īnd "if I loved him more he wouldn't have hurt me or other people," is not the take you think it is. Nor would loving him prevent him from obsessing over racial hygiene, abducting people, etc. MC is not the cause of Eric's attitudes/behavior. He'd just be a stalker, abductor, physical abuser, etc. Originally posted by Lilael:Dating Eric is not healthy for the MC or Eric because Eric would still be a stalker, abductor, physical abuser, etc. ![]() The worst possible outcome for Eric would be dating the protagonist as he was, without realizing why his relationships kept failing, leaving him even more frustrated, and hurting even more people, perpetuating the cycle of damage further.Īnd I'm talking about our Protagonist as being a horrible person towards him, imagine how he could learn a proper relationship while engaging with someone who treats him with kindness instead of the hostility that is directed at him during the whole game and prior. The best possible outcome for Eric is recognizing that he needs help and going to therapy. He has already kidnapped and hurt multiple people before you ever say a kind or unkind word to him. The part where he kidnaps and mutilates people in an attempt to create the perfect mindless slave to satisfy his fetish for power is a pretty big deal, and that's something that starts before he ever meets the protagonist. He hasn't been treating people as if they were people, and you're meant to recognize that and be repulsed, but if you aren't repulsed, oh well. Originally posted by Finvaara:Eric is intentionally designed to display unhealthy tendencies and offers only an unhealthy relationship like the ones he has had in the past. You still have to deal with the boss at the end but he would get a happier ending and he would not be a stalker. ![]() Romancing Eric would be more healthy, especially for him. Originally posted by Lilael:I think romanticizing Eric is unhealthy and puts yourself at risk of abuse in your own real relationships if you ignore all the harmful things the character does to glorify him and blame yourself. Cults exist.īut I don’t think BD will ever signal Eric as he is as okay - that game puts a clear boundary on the harmful relationship and if anything should be a lesson. People write love letters to serial killers in real life. People end up in abusive relationships and overlook their own partner’s racism/abuse all the time. Doesn’t means he owns you and can abuse you/others to try and claim you.Īm I suprised people like Eric? No. You go on one blind date with a guy your cousin set up. ![]() It’s when he starts calling your family members losers, putting you in a pedestal, trying to isolate you from others, stalks you, is verbally abusive to your friends, racial prejudice, abduction & physical maiming of others (Isaac said he would notify the authorities - what Eric is doing is a crime), and physically aggressive towards animals that all escalates to him clearly having significant issues. ![]() I think romanticizing Eric is unhealthy and puts yourself at risk of abuse in your own real relationships if you ignore all the harmful things the character does to glorify him and blame yourself.Įric’s first two interactions aren’t too bad. Not so nice when you think of the Protagonist's actions like that is it? I would call the Protagonist a C-word, but that word is too rude for me to say or spell out. For example, the story would play out entirely differently if the Protagonist was kind and thoughtful of Eric ❤.ĮDIT: I also ask you how you would feel if you had a date with someone, they treat you like trash straight afterwards and have about fifty dates with fifty other people straight afterwards. It's unfair to treat someone badly because of "what might" happen. The protagonist is such a thoughtless and a horrible person.īTW you are thinking about him from what you learn in the end and not how it is when you first meet him and know nothing about anything going on. I don't have a problem with seeing him where he is, if anything the blame is still on the protagonist for just making dates all over the place straight after his. Originally posted by LaChouette:So because he's sexy and cute, you're willing to overlook the stalking, the fact that he butts in on a lot of your dates to try and stop you, as well as his belief that weapon people are an inferior race to regular humans? ![]()
