Roger is one of those characters that kinda jumps around on whether he’s a good or bad guy so I can’t fully like him but I can’t fully hate him. He comes across one of those guys that’s “Well Meaning but Annoying”. Like, he’s always on the front line to take down akumas by himself despite just being a squishy human, but he’s also caused at least two by “upholding the law” to a ridiculous degree. He wouldn’t bend to the Mayor demanding he break the law, but he also encourages his daughter to be Chloe’s personal slave.

Roger is a simplistic guy but this interesting zeal for “justice” makes him kind of complicated. I mean, I can’t fully blame him for when he went off on Mr. Ramier for feeding pigeons despite being told constantly not to considering the health and safety hazards (for both people and pigeons) and I can’t fully blame him for going off on Mrs. Couffaine (in canon) when they broke the sound limit with a single guitar stroke. Yet both episodes very much painted him as the bad guy and he was definitely a jerk about it.

Thank you, I hope you’re doing well as well! 

I like the game so far! Visually it’s lovely and it improved a lot of things from previous AC games (such as getting to choose where villagers put their houses, the huge level of customization of the player character and the island, expanded inventory and storage ect). I will say though as of right now, the game feels a bit empty. It’s missing a lot of the previous furniture sets, there is currently only 2 holidays I think in the game, and some of the quality of life stuff could use some major improvements. I think a lot of that is subject to change, because Nintendo plans to release the rest of the holidays in updates and they added bushes/Lief and the entire art gallery/Redd in the last one, so as long as you’re okay with waiting for them to add content, it shouldn’t be a problem.

The QoL stuff though we don’t know for sure if they’ll improve. I think they were trying to stay with how previous AC games functioned but it comes across dated compared to other games of this era (for example only being able to buy/craft things one at a time, too many sub-menus, long strings of repeated dialogue for NPCs/shop keepers, dated model of online play). Since you play Pocket Camp, you probably know that when it first dropped and for a long while after it had also had some major QoL problems but they did thankfully overhaul some things (like being able to eat more than one fortune cookie at a time). I know it’s a different team that runs each game but I am hoping this will also be the case for NH and they’ll make improvements based on player feedback.

Thank you!
