replyLooks cool.
Didn't i read somewhere that the character of Alan Wake was supposed to be gay? Would this make this game the second to feature a gay lead (the other being Undying)?-

Actually I thought it would be an interesting character arc. Maybe a more sensitive main character rather than 'Duke Nukem beefcakeosity. '

I'm all for characters of different backgrounds.
I'm not sure the Undying lead char is gay though. I did some searching and the only thing i found was this:
"We had this fellow called Magnus. Count Magnus Wolfram. Who was bald, tattoed, looked like a comic book hero. And I got them all in a room, and I said, 'Look, does anyone in this room know a count? No. Does anybody in this room know anybody called Magnus? No. Does anybody really want to be in this guy's skin? Since this is a first person play, why would you want to be in this man's skin? Why would you want to play [as him]?' And so we threw him out, and I said, 'Look. You've got a gay man in charge here. Bring me somebody I want to sleep with. Bring me somebody fabulously sexy.'...
"Brian Horton about ten days later sent me the character that now appears on the screen. Who was wonderful, he's everything I wanted. He was just the right kind of character. He seemed like somebody you would want to be, somebody you would want to play, whose skin you would want to occupy for a period of time. Even if you are going against the hordes of hell, at least he was going to do it with a smile on his face."

It doesn't say the lead char is gay, only that he's attractive by the designers standards apparently and should make people want to play in his shoes. *shrug* I never noticed, but maybe he's got really nice shoes? har har.-
Ah, well I guess that was where I was confused. But still, I think there were some subtle overtones to the relationship between the main character and the guy he's helping at the mansion.
