Kudos to the developers for this!! I do gain a high measure of satisfaction when I hear the protag scream in utter agony when something goes wrong.
Thankfully, the game has an ABUNDANCE of ways to kill the annoying protagonist, some of which are quite graphic. And I do believe that most guys are patriarchal to some degree but the insistence of the protag he will fight in place of his female partner (spoiler friendly!) because he doesn’t like women fighting, DESPITE her being OBVIOUSLY 100x stronger than him goes beyond chivalry and is just stupid and flies into the face of any sort of common sense. I understand comedy value associated with guys facing unfamiliar situations with sexual overtones but I’d expect it to appear in a situation with more tension than, “omg, a girl who’s been in my house before is entering my house!!!! PANIC!!!!!”.
That and his stupidly patriarchal attitude regardless of the situation and his nasal like voice makes the protagonist to be one of the most annoying characters I’ve ever had to play through. Protagonist is stupidly annoying when it comes to any interactions with women that have the tiniest bit of sexual tension.
