I think that's one of the things that made me not like the character at first, because I was so originally not a Connor fan (though I still won't touch most of S4 with a ten foot pole, but I think that's how it is for everyone with the horrors of that season) - that not enough attention was paid to the parts of his character that could help the audience relate. That's not to say I don't get why Joss focused on his hatred for his father and how easily corruptible he was, as it drove his plot and Joss is the king of driving the plot home (when he wants to), but I think he really, like you said, shafted the character by not paying more attention to the other factors that make made me feel really sorry for him in the end, because he was never in control of anything in his original life. --though, oh God, I'll stop there before this turns into an essay. aldkfjlaskjdfad, but seriously, it makes my day to hear that people like (my) Connor, especially when he's such an unpopular character.
negl, I am looking forward to that glitch you enabled. Which will be a challenge, since I've never played him from that early on in canon before.
SOB KIFFY, YES. It took me forever to tag into that thread, notif fail aside, because I kept going back and watching the movie and reading parts of the novel (old threads, as well) to make sure I was still going on the same path with him and not stepping off it, since that was new territory and such. Keeping his decision in line with his feelings and personality, etc, etc. I really need to finish writing up his B| post and...tags in general.
