The contrast in the Persona protagonists is pretty interesting. The protagonists of 3 and 4 gave me some slight sense of their character, but they were overall fairly blank slates. The protagonist of Persona 5 is brimming with personality; I love that kid.

Thank you for the DDS video link! Wow, that must be incredibly disconcerting if you've spent a while inhabiting this character.

(One of my hang ups, for instance, is I have to know when I'm playing a point and click adventure if my character can die as I can't handle being startled by that - if I know, I am considerably more careful and save happy.)

This is really interesting! I find it terrifying if it's possible for a character to die because of my actions and the story to continue - this is why I had to stop playing the Dark Pictures Anthology; I just couldn't handle the stress of my actions determining whether these characters lived or died - but I'm generally fine if a character dies and then you can just try again.

That wasn't always the case, though! As a kid, I'd make my brother play games so I couldn't watch, because I couldn't handle the guilt of personally being responsible for the death of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Please do expand on your Painscreek Killings experience; I'm very curious now!
