I'm sorry if this comes off as offensive, Fire, but from what I've seen of DA, you guys judge characters pretty quickly the second they aren't complete sweethearts.

If you're looking for a character who's only aiming to win over a girl, is pretty much a blank slate, overly clingy, and is totally defined by his disorder, I'd go for Mike.

If you're looking for a character who's realistic in his motives, has actual emotions, still retains that bit of clinginess, and isn't defined by his disorder, Dave's your guy.

That's the difference. I'm not surprised people from DA don't like him. How come the second he begins to show actual emotions and fear over losing the one girl that's ever liked him, we dismiss it as derailment?
