I honestly just played this game for Derek years ago, for me he's the biggest appeal and the one element that kinda ties the story together, at least for the prior parts of the game. The story went a bit all over the place at some point and I just lost interest cuz there's nothing stringing the story together, it just became some click and point porn game.
Would love to see more Derek, if not then perhaps some reacurring theme that brings the game more connected?
