Btw, just finished BD: what can I say? I think that being in the state of "near-death" can sometimes have rather radical results. It can often push you over the brink and to an extreme: having known someone who nearly died at the hands of her father, I can say that parts of her history nearly fit the Damned One's to a T except for the setting. She joined a cult, she and her family conspired to hurt and maim one another. Sometimes, all it takes is a push and a shove to make you a complete sicko who's unrepentant for his deeds, no matter how cruel they might be and who relishes the thought of blood and hurting others.
i bought BD a couple years ago, but never played it. i bought it because the story sounded interesting even though i hate tag-a-longs. at that time i refused to install it because of starforce. since the removal of starfoce, i've just never gone back and picked it up. i've heard different people say different things about it. some liked it, some didn't. hopefully one day i will install it and find out for myself.
