There are more brunettes in this world than blondes. That is a fact. So by making the main character, a brunette, you are appealing to more people. It's a majority wins kind of thing, I think. I don't think it is anything against blondes. Why would anyone have anything against blondes?

I was just joking but my original question was going to be if all three characters from those three different franchises were all meant to be the same character.

Redhead protagonists...erm... Rincewind from Discworld? Oh, I know, Alan Cameron from the Cameron Files games!

Yeah, that's all I've got.

I don't know about you, but when I walk around, the color I most often see is not blonde.

Well at least all you guys have hair!

The best we baldies get is the anti-hero, the old mentor who has to die to motivate the real hero or something really odd like Powder.

I'd say that's pretty much it, yeah.

They cater to the average because of it's predominance. That's right, these games are produced by idiot CEOs who never plyed a game and pay marketing people to hear that the prospective gamers are so stupid they won't play the game otherwise.

You sir, must have been on some amazing adventures :o

They're all supernatural stories, however Painkiller and Max are obvious fantasy where as A. Wake touches on conspiracy philosophy involving the Law of Attraction and hits closer to home.

But I did honestly, for a time, thought that Painkiller was the next series of Max Paynes.
Lol. My hair line went so far back and then stopped.. I've grown my hair past the base of my neck so now I've got the Richard O'Brian doo. XD
