Hypothetical question: should they kill Trent?

In the sequel, or at least in the expansion pack? I mean, I don't really feel many people sympathise with him... he talks like a retard, and voiced by a ex-teen soap actor. If he dies and get replaced by another Freelancer, would you miss him?

I personally can't relate to him the way I could with Blair, Guybrush, Manny Calavera, Casey (from WCP), etc. Trent is ok, but if they killed him, let's just say I wouldn't grief too much.

Juni, on the other hand....

How about you?

trent is assassinated by angry criminal organizations and Juni takes over.

i'm for it. (anyone else notice the swaying hips when the ladies walk? alluring.)

At least Trent stops talking now and then. Juni just blabbers on and on and on...

And while we are discussing Juni, I have a pair of questions:
[1 Is everybody aware that she is computer-generated?
[2 (Forgetting [1) Has nobody in this forum ever visited planet Sprague?

So what if she's CG? what is Monalisa btw if not a composition of ink and colors? and supermodels on magazines: chemical paint on pulp. Actresses on tv: something from cathode tube. Just quit dissecting and deconstructing everything, and see it as a whole, a complete entity.

Manny Calavera


"Ahhh, you stuuuupid bIeards!" - Manny

That's the quote that I remember most from the game, that, and:

"My boss is a real... hardass..." - Manny

"You're darn right I'm a hardass!"

i think that maybe in the sequel they should keep Trent (or kill him doesnt matter ) and then after the story missions, a freelance mode would open up. and for multiplayer and freelance mode they should just add a character creation system.

I think the point is that those actresses and supermodels are real people being portrayed by those medias, as opposed to someone who only exists in digital data. Still, I haven't seen as much Juni obsession as I have Lara or Yuna, which is probably a good thing.

As for Trent, nah, don't kill him off, but make him part of a larger whole, e.g. a group of freelancers, so the focus isn't just on him again.

Still.. i know i could sink my teeth into those hot cross buns..

Well I got to admit some of the voice acting is a little suspect at times but isn't bad. And as far as I'm concerned Juni can babble as much as she likes But no got to have Trent, Juni and King back for the next instalment Hey Tent and Juni have to at least lock lips Yeah big softy here Juni maybe CG but she's one hot space babe.

Aeryn Sun, Susasn Ivanova and Juni Zane. Yep sounds pretty damn good to me

Noooo!! Trent is really cool--don't kill him! Maybe Trent doesn't have to come back in a sequal but he should still live! :insert huge pout smilie here!:

Mr. Trent looks totally spiff in his leather jacket and he so has that brooding scoundrel thing going on!! :-)

haha, Gig

I say bring him back as a burned out, pot-bellied has-been swamper in some backwater Lane Hacker bar, constantly raggin' folks for a handout with "whacha got?".

I don't run this house, but I have an understanding with the woman who does.

Get a new character and have Trent appear as a old guy contact in a bar who yaps on about his career for ages while dispersing info.
Or get him to be the head of the new freelancer's guild

Or amybe just give him more than six lines to say.
