I have never been so regularly embarrassed by a protag as I am by Rook in Veilguard. Sure, I've played other protags who like puns and bad jokes, but those usually manage to pass themselves off as charming at least 50% of the time. Rook has negative rizz. Rook has never had an ounce of charm in their body. They say the most atrocious things at the worst times. I just am bracing myself for what is going to come out of their mouth next, honestly all the time but ESPECIALLY during romance interactions. Doesn't matter what variation of the reply you choose, they are all gonna have you with your head in your hands. No one has ever been less capable of reading a room. I want to fight them.
