: The characters of ODST actually do this same thing; I think they just did it : better, oddly enough. : I think I attribute that to better voice acting and writing. Their : interactions are a lot more believable. But again, they don't change much : either. I know a few people who didn't feel a thing for any of the ODST characters either. Personally, I didn't mind much at all, same with Reach. Maybe its because I'm not a massive personality myself, that I find their subtleties very believable and even relatable? I dunno. : Fair enough. But I think the reasons I didn't feel anything for these : characters has root in some fundamental issues of their presentation and : circumstances. In talking to a lot of people about this, I know for : certain I'm not alone with my general indifference to these characters. Of course you're not alone. There's billions of people out there and you can't please everyone all of the time. I personally have a big indifference to Master Chief and Captain exposition, I mean, Keyes. While I know I'm not alone in that, I also know lots of people totally disagree. And that's completely fair enough. : "Jun feels comfortable in his skin" "Emile had a traumatic : childhood?" Well, my impression of Jun as very confident in his own abilities and comfortable with them. He's always cool and calm in his exchanges, even to the degree of being cold (referring to missing UNSC Marines as strays) or his little exchange with the 'suspected' Rebels. As for Emile, I wouldn't go as far as saying traumatic childhood, but he does have a visible distrust and even disdain of civilians, which just so happen to be the people he's supposed to be protecting. He wraps himself in the security of being a Spartan? I can see that. He's the only one who never removes his helmet.
