So restarted and got further now I had more clue what I was getting into.
Sadly my opinion of Kay has not changed. I swear I am feeling like Garak for all the betrayals I am seeing coming and Kay is oblivious to.
I am also angry at Ubisoft. The game is listed as 'Open World' and 'Shooter'. But shooting is the weakest part of the game as unarmored people take six plus shots to take down with Kay's blaster. Which then overheats. And I am in the middle of one quest, pause to do another since I was next to the leg in one spot. Now I am locked into doing the 'optional' gathering a crew in the order demanded by my babysitter. (Terms kept vague to avoid spoilers)
