Though I think I remember him eventually gaining some respect for Zanthia's abilities, he still seemed to consider he mostly as a piece of flesh, or some kind of object. A real chauvinist, really.

I never understood that kind of mentality. if we can only play games where the character is like ourselves then we're pretty limited. I was planning to buy Mass Effect 3 but maybe I should've joined NASA before playing the first two?
personally I like playing different characters. Zanthia, April Ryan, Gabriel Knight, Guybrush Threepwood... none of them are really like me, but that's part of the appeal. I can be myself in real life, games are for being somebody else
and incidentally Jazhara7 what's your avatar from? it looks familiar but I can't place it... apologies if I've already asked before, I have an awful memory
