This.

And everytime it happened, I just wanted Hope to grow a pair, man up, and tell him. But no, he had to be a big girl about it. "I'm not going to tell him yet, so I'll just act weird, and mad for no apparent reason. Hmph." Of course until (SPOILER)Snow, after carrying Hope and protecting him, was hanging from the edge and vulnerable, and THEN Hope would just stab him to death to exact his revenge, being the coward he is.

They really should have made Fang a dude, and Hope a chick. Just like the writers changed Fang from a man to a woman, it would not surprise me if Hope was supposed to be a girl, and they changed her to a boy at the last minute, but kept all the female lines and emotions.

Anyways, back to "yet another retarded conspiracy topic". Future Esthar, are you waiting for someone to speculate that "OMG Nora is really the founder and leader of NORA"? If so, there is nothing in the game story-line to tell us this. I'm pretty sure the writers did it to add to Hope's anger, making his mother's tragedy more dramatic everytime Snow said "NORA".
