Supporting characters is interesting to me only if it gives the characters more pressure, not just more trailer drama.
A weak version of this discussion is just “is this good or bad?” A stronger version asks how making downtime matter changes player behavior: what people expect, what they prepare for, and what they stop assuming.
Three things would make the topic more useful:
- what the scene says about Lucia and Jason when nobody is shooting
- whether conflict comes from motives, pressure, or simple plot convenience
- how the setting pushes characters into bad choices
Русский вывод: В сюжете важны не только большие ограбления и погони. Нужны сцены, где видно характер, ошибки, доверие и давление на персонажей.
For me the thread comes down to this: What would make supporting characters feel important rather than just interesting? Would this change your launch platform?
