Not sure how much I agree with this. It seems to say that BtN's versions of the characters were deeper, but...


Karen for instance. In the N64 version her family's a wreck when you get there. The mother is totally beat down and and just seems to coast through the day. The father is typically grumpy, short with you, and gets confused if you take the time to help out with something. Karen holds almost everything in contempt.


The more you visit them, give them the odd gift and help around, the more you watch them grow out of their funk and become a decent family again. There's a sense of accomplishment when you notice Karen's mother has taken to smiling again, and bustles around. That the father takes pride in his work, or that Karen isn't two seconds from running away.




It's just as interesting to watch the family self-destruct if you decided at the beginning to ignore their situation and let matters take their course. And over the next couple months, they most definitely do fall apart.

Fuck, this is making me want to play the N64 version again.
