Re: The trait you dislike in the character you love...

[(Anonymous)]

Usually there's not traits I dislike, but sometimes there's something that appears to me as inconsistent writing or just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the character, and those are the times I kind of just go "eeehh okay" and downplay it or ignore it when I write the character.

The one that comes to mind is Zaal'Koris from Mass Effect. He's an antagonist in the second game and an ally in the third game but I firmly maintain that his characterization is actually pretty consistent - his goals haven't changed, Shepard's and Tali's have. The one thing I can't quite reconcile with the rest of him, though, is the fact that he proposed posthumously exiling Tali if she didn't come back from the Alarei. Meanwhile it was established pretty firmly in other dialogue that he had no real ill will against Tali, she was just collateral damage in his crusade against Rael. Everything he does in both games is what he believes is best for the quarians, but demonizing Tali to the extent that he demonizes Rael doesn't seem to suit his purposes or have a real point beyond making the player thing "wow, what an asshole." Koris does some assholish things but he's got DEPTH, dangit, he doesn't just pull jerk moves for the sake of pulling jerk moves.

(And for that matter, neither does Han'Gerrel, but my thoughts on fandom's opinion of him are another rant entirely.)

(Why, yes, I think about quarian politics way too much, why do you ask?)
