But then, I've always thought the real question was going to be how much people care about Elle. How do y'all like Elle, anyway?

She's way better than I expected. Her english VA and the localization team did a heck of a job making her likeable and not super annoying, they could have really screwed that up badly if they weren't careful.

It's also funny how she sometimes acts as Ludger's stand-in "voice" during post-battle scenes and stuff so he's not just standing around and gesturing silently all the time.

Still relatively early on so I don't know what her real purpose in the story is, but it's fun having her around sassing people and interacting with the other characters. She fits in pretty well.

I also thought it was interesting how much Elize has changed since the first game. She's way more outgoing now and you almost never see her holding on to Teepo anymore, he just kinda hangs out floating around. Though I swear she's starting to sound more "princess-ey" at times, probably from all the hanging around Rowen and Driselle living the high-rollin' Sharilton life.

Alvin was kind of a poo poo in the first game what with his crazy betrayal spree, but after learning about his backstory you kind of understand why he ended up such a messed up dude. I still think the party overall was WAY too easy on him about the poo poo he did, but he eventually comes to admit it himself that he was a gigantic piece of poo poo and tries to make amends.

For that reason he's quite a bit better in this game and you can tell it's still kind of gnawing at him. Also it's pretty funny how the rest of the crew makes jokes at him about it and he just takes it because he knows he can't say poo poo.
