You could almost see the way the wheels turned in his insane but brilliant mind. Nothing any of the holodisks said prepared me for the encounter, and his dialog and character were beautifully mastered. The Master however, was one of the 'Holy Shit' moments in gaming.
but failed and just gouged those plotholes wider. He seemed no more than a monologue opportunity the devs stuck in just to fill in some holes in the story. Somehow the broad shoulders and alot of the other design on him seems more western than anime, which tends to go for the skinny, elongated, almost girlish figures in most of their men and even alot of their mecha robots. Though I don't find him as anime as alot of people do. As it was, he was weak, some good lines ( his dying breath's statement caught more than me off gaurd apparently) but still too weak.
Frank Horrigan was a stereotype with the potential to become more, given a little backstory, a little more dialog, he'd have been awesome.
