The Illusive Man: One Of The Best Video Game Characters?
Ron from Leviathyn.com takes a look at Mass Effect's infamous Illusive Man and asks whether or not he might be one of the best video game characters in history.
(Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3, PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
I liked how his role within the story changed from ME2-ME3. He was pretty much the face of the reapers throughout the story in my eyes. He played the role Saren did in ME1.
Cant tell you how happy i was at the end of ME2 when the "shut up" dialogue option popped up! I was finally in a position to just tell him that hes not worth my time any more now that the collectors are gone.
I found his goals misguided and many of his methods repulsive and it didn't help he started taking stupid pills daily by ME3. I also don't like him for hogging the spotlight in ME3 when the Reapers should have been getting that development (seeing as they desperately needed it). Cerberus had its limelight in ME2 and their contrived insta-army shennanigans and lolindoctrination plot was wasted time and effort for the writers.
