I like how Kim’s patience and faith are both his biggest strength and his biggest weakness as a character. He’s an exceptionally loyal person who’s able to handle a thoroughly broken individual with just the right touch…And also a person who, through his true believer tendencies, is still able to overlook genuinely despicable behavior on The Detective’s part because he feels a bad cop is still better than no cop. It’s possible to play the game in such a way that Harry is a gigantic fascist piece of shit, yet Kim still vouches for him in the ending as much as he would if Harrier were a total saint.
Reflects the fundamental complexities of interpersonal relationships. A person’s strongest talent can also be their single biggest flaw; This also interacts nicely on a thematic level with the way the game penalizes stat dumping.
Fascist run Kim does outright say he never wants to work with Harry again. In that argument the two have outside of the church after Harry kept saying racial slurs, Kim will explode at Harry. He essentially says he’s only there for the job at that point and doesn’t wanna talk with Harry. It doesn’t effect further gameplay though, but I wish it would. It feels like a real break moment. Kim should only reply in curt yes or no after that point and refuse to talk about anything other than the case.
