Empire of Sin's character relationships and personalities evolve over time
You know, like real people
Empire of Sin is trying to do something special with how it tells a story through its characters. The gang you take on isn't giong to have a set of cookie-cutter personalities that don't evolve. In an interview with Gamasutra, developer John Romero explains how characters will change over time.
"Adding all of the character traits and relationships adds a whole layer that most games don't have. The fact that it changes over time makes it more emergent. They're not static---you can't just say 'this character is always like this, and they're like that forever, and I know how these chess pieces work together.' The chess pieces change over time."
