Playing the WHOLE game is important to enjoying the experience. However, I do know what it's like to not want to finish a game.

Interesting! For me, she was opposite of bland. I loved her voice which was nuanced ... at times Kate seemed cynical, at times her voice smiled, sometimes she seemed a little gruff, but mostly she was very kind and patient. If you want bland, try Ann Smith of Paradise (at least in the early stages of this game.)

I think Kate was dissatisfied with her life because she always did what was expected of her. Since she didn't have a vision of her own, she was drawn to someone who did. The process of helping Hans achieve his goal freed Kate to seek her own desires. In the end, she might even go back to being a lawyer. It’s just that sometimes you have to break away from all that you know in order to return to it as an independent and self-fulfilled person.
