reason #21315 to love we happy few:

Percy

I could leave it at that, but really what I wanted to praise was the fact that they took him, possibly one of the smartest people in game, and gave him a learning disorder. 

It’s honestly great, we see it all the time. He excels at chess, latin and herbalism(?), and I’m sure many other things, but he has a disorder. A freaking learning disorder, and they paired it with him. 

 It’s a perfect example that writers/artists are allowed to give their characters disorders, but not let it stop them. I honestly can’t express how much I love the fact that he is actually intelligent, but is just held back by him being on the autism spectrum. 

It’s inspiring. Even the way they portrayed him having a mental disability was amazing! They didn’t focus it so heavy on the disorder that it’s all we thought of him. They made him human, gave him so much more than just “Hey, he’s an Autistic kid.”

He’s sweet, intelligent and genuinely concerned and loves his brother. They took him and made him so three dimensional and didn’t just slap him there because they could. I really could praise all the characters, too, but this is by far one of my favorite parts of the writing in this game.
