If he was capable of such feats five years ago as a "good" guy, imagine what he can do now!
I like that part too. Shame it's over in the first five minutes or so, and everything after it is nothing but linear exposition for an hour or two.
Again, then why replay the game at all? There are plenty parts of the game where there is linear exposition. If that's a problem then why replay ANY RPG from the late 90s on?
