yeah I like how until you have the required strength his powers work on you other wise he runs scared
Did you have to eat the dude earlier in the game to have enough power to scare Jake off after revisiting the frat-house? Or was choosing the Power option instead of Skill option during your 1st boxing match enough? I tried a play-through where I gathered all the power I could and one where I gathered all the skill i could- but I didn't try the middle route. Hopefully it is- I liked scaring him off- but I didn't really like eating that thug. I'll have to do a cannon run after the next release to get the right balance ;-).
