Is that, I feel like the characters need more time/missions for the relationship's to grow. First off, I'm 66% into the game. So maybe I'm not far enough (but I assume I am, given I'm 66% done lol). But for instance, you meet Fetch. You do her mission. Then you do ONE main mission with her after you establish the new partnership. And then that's it. They have their quick hook up scene, and I get the sense that she likes Delsin, and he likes her. I figured, okay we'll get some more side missions together later on (or cut scenes to establish this friendship).
But nope. After that, the plot kind of shifted me away from that section and into the Lantern district. I only heard from Fetch once by the phone. And then I didn't see her for hours. I never got anymore missions involving her. But then, when I finally go back to other area, there is a quick cut scene where we meet up briefly. To be clear, I'm not saying I wanted more romance. That's completely irrelevant here. This also applies for other people like Eugene.
I just feel like, they briefly introduce these characters, and then the plot sweeps away to something else, and I don't ever feel like they capitalize on these friendships. Again, I'm only 66% done. So maybe there will be more by the end. But when I had the option to "corrupt" or "redeem" these people, I just expected a bit more then what I've gotten so far.
