I think that's fair.For you,it's a fundamental disagreement with the character archetype that used for Cam,while for me I don't see that way. I think that comes from the fact that Perverteer is clearly using old pulpy sci fi movies as his inspiration for the tone of the game. you know,like Flash Gordon. While there are serious and emotional moments,TFTUV overall is meant to be a light hearted and fun adventure across the galaxy with lots of action and heroes that are daring or reckless as you call it.
From what you told me, it seems like you less have a problem with Cam as a character and more with how it's treated in the narrative.I think you're looking at the wrong game if you want the narrative to acknowledge the reckless part of his personality in dangerous situations realistically. I feel like for what TFTUV is going for,it does the right amount of calling out Cam for his reckless attitude,without compromising the tone.This isn't a regular Sci-fi where you expect the tone to be fairly serious or a Cyberpunk where for the most part it is.That's just how I feel though. I do appreciate you explaining yourself.
