Disappointed with AAMFP

[Alardem]

He was a coward that was afraid of his own shadow. At least Mandus was screwed up by his wife's death and that trip to Mexico. Not only is Mandus a better written character but he's also a more interesting one. There wasn't a single character worth writing about in TDD (besides Justine but that's just my bias towards me liking female characters). He actually had beliefs, passion and the intelligence to do what he thought was right...regardless of how insane and wrong placed those three characteristics were.

I have to concur regarding Justine - a consequence of her game's compressed scale was that the scale of her evil felt more plausible (torturing six men as opposed to hundreds), and there was an air of mystery to her that made her more chilling than Alexander (a love-lorn alien). And there was more to her than meets the eye, with hints that she possesses a madness-inducing artifact and that, depending on the player's actions, she can be genuinely compassionate when deprived of her 'regular' state of mind.

I'm pleased that A Machine For Pigs continued the themes and ideas raised by Justine. I just wonder if she ever suffered or redeemed herself for her actions, as Mandus and Daniel sought to...
