: Yeah. Durandal, at least from my angle, seems to have some level of affection
: for the player character. I mean, he fakes his death, but he also tips his
: hand to the player fairly soon, if you know where to look, even giving
: genuine helpful advice.

: Or look at how he handles Blake. Uses and then ditches. The player? He says
: he'll never let go.

: He informs the Security Officer about the colony when thinking it was still
: alive would be more likely to help morale. It seems, in a perverse way,
: that he thinks of you as his best friend and only confidant. Watson to his
: Holmes, the comparatively dim ex-military man who needs everything
: explained, but is just smart enough to go "I say! That's jolly
: clever!" instead of "Wait. What?"

: He even apologizes when he screws the player over, when Blake's talk seems to
: say Durandal doesn't give a rat's ass when Bobs die.

: Which is part of why I like Durandal so much. He's a monster, but he has
: style, and just enough of an odd little conscience to keep his motives in
: question.

: I mean, he's always looking out for #1, but sometimes that seems to include a
: friendly listing for #s 3-7.

He does manage to let Blake and Co. head home in a mysteriously-vacant Pfhor ship though.

As for Leela and Durandal, though he displays at least some fond memory of her, I don't know how attached he is to any of the AIs he shared the Marathon with. I don't know if he would have cared much about Tycho's fate if it weren't for Tycho's odd and antagonistic fixation with Durandal.
