I was starting to doubt parts of this game happened but at least I'll have permanent evidence now.

Halligan is an unhinged professional gaslighter. I love that he never tries to hide after doing something crazy, he just stands there and is adamant it wasn't him.

Halligan's sheer lack of self awareness kills me, he's like a baby with no theory of mind. The chief asks what he's been doing and he just says "I visited an expert on druids!" without realizing his boss has zero context to what he's talking about.

I like how halligan has the ability to be compassionate and charismatic. It makes all the times that he chooses not to be even funnier.

…considering how close the Druids are to completing their ritual, Melanie’s skeleton being found a few days later means that they somehow managed to fail even in the ending where she gets caught. Which means they were doomed the instant they decided to recruit Halligan.

The best part of Halligan stabbing Melanie is that he tells her he's going to go get help, and only after she asks him not to leave her does he seem to realize he can just use his newfound druid magic instead. He lives so much in the moment that he literally stabbed his prospective girlfriend in the stomach with absolutely no plan in mind of how to prevent her from dying. What an incredible character.

Halligan is such a well-developed character that when he stabbed Melanie I thought "makes perfect sense."

"Have you tried working?" Proceeds to poison homeless man and steal his change.

Actually incredible that Halligan's reaction to hearing his coworker is responsible for an innocent man dying over murders he didn't commit is "Well, alright, these things happen"

@andrewdon2947 5 years ago

There's no way Halligan isn't a satire of adventure game detectives.

Those adorable little slaps when he attacked Melanie cinched it.

"Halligan runs like there's something wrong with him"

There are a great many things wrong with him.

@franklinbarnes7329 3 years ago

Halligan and Melanie's relationship makes a billion times more sense when you realize that because of his deal with Serstan, she's technically a puzzle item

@spiderousmenace 1 year ago

I think what really cements Halligan's unlikability is that unlike some other famous sociopathic a-hole characters like, say, Sterling Archer, Halligan isn't over-the-top, he isn't witty or sarcastic or self-aware. He's earnest, initially comes across as mellow and polite to people who don't know him, and seems genuinely confused as to why everyone hates him so much, like it just doesn't occur to him that the things he's doing are somehow wrong.

My favourite part of this video is how Halligan says "I've been *investigating*!" Like he's genuinely really pleased with himself and is legitimately expecting praise from the Chief.

@inendlesspain4724 5 years ago

"Learning empathy from his travels, Halligan gives him last rites... oh just kidding, he's looting the body"

And with that, I broke into hysterical laughter.

@Colddirector 5 years ago

I love the idea of the druids brainwashing and recruiting Halligan, but quickly regretting it after realizing just how unpleasant he is to be around.

This game has permanently damaged my brain. Today I was trying to explain the basics of TOTPs and multifactor authentication to my dad, and when he asked for a third time how the website knows what number is displayed on his phone, I just blurted out, "through the magic of the druids".

@nukarockit 5 years ago

the fact that Halligan's first choice was, with no warning whatsoever, to stab his maybe-Girlfriend when any other 'chosen one' would have stabbed himself to accomplish the exact same thing is both an absolute dick move and entirely in character.
