Well honestly my opinion, is that Daniel is a smart kid, he can be whiny admittedly but of course it’s most of the time he wants Sean’s attention which is understandable. I haven’t played the game in a little bit so I can’t remember some of what he is like but I do watch someone play so I can see what he’s like. He is a good kid, he’s unique, he has a lot of qualities that can make you love him and make you think he’s very whiny and annoying but he’s good and I love him

I guess I agree with you, but the older sibling should simply be the alpha omega for the younger one. I know this is probably how the story is supposed to go, but it just irritated me in certain situations.

Daniel can be VERY frustrating. I also reached a point where I was ready to just abandon him.
His behaviour is somewhat dependent on the choices you make, but he displays some concerning tendencies regardless.
Some of this is excusable, but it can be very grating overall.

i used to get annoyed a lot, ill be honest. but remember, hes just a kid. hes 9. sometimes i have to remind myself that. and theres a lot that got on his shoulders for a nine year old. its pretty obv why he acts this way throughout the game.

also i used to think a lot like why he cant act on the circumstances. like duh i get it all but sean gets it and acts more mature. but damn friends sean IS much more mature, hes 16, he understands much more that a 9yo does. and it can be hard for a kid to control his feelings. he is still small, he is not yet a fully formed personality, and not all adults cope well with all the moral traumas that he had to face. so expecting more from a child is very strange from our side

Thanks for your opinion and I agree with what you wrote.

yes, that's exactly what I thought. Thanks for the opinion.

"Die together with Finn"? In my playthrough Finn didn't die. :o

Maybe this game is some sort oft "Are you read to be a parent?"-test.

I tried to teach Daniel to be self-sufficient and take responsibility for his actions. I would usually leave decisions to him, as far as the game allowed it and I'd say that overall it turned out allright and in the end we had a really good relationship despite some troubles along the way.

I must have expressed myself wrong. Finn didn't die in my playthrough either, I just wanted him to die for using Daniel for that heist.

Honestly both Sean and Daniel didn't had it fair from the get go, Sean I think chose to step up and be mature for his own brother because that's just what he wanted to do and he wanted to PROTECT him in general and continue on for him and the story just wants Daniel be like"Hey I can still be a kid while still being slightly mature" (depending on the choice you guys choice but preety sure it's the same way but he's a brat either way on that specific episode lol.)

But Sean preety much steps up to be mature because the story preety much wants him to be and it balances it out and Daniel sees this as a opportunity (via above) to Daniel thinking it's still okay to still be a kid.

Sean still wants him to have some part of him being a kid left and that's what he's trying to protect and maintain mostly but yeah Sean and Daniel are kids throughout this so they take out roles throughout this and as much as Daniel is annoying he's meant to be REALISTICALLY written like that to balance it out.

Yeah, I agree. I think that someone who gets easily annoyed by Daniel's behavior would probably become annoyed by a real kid's behavior too.

I found him to be quite believable and his behavior never broke the immersion of that of a real 9-year-old-brother.
