I don't mind the snarky, cynical type. I like characters like Michael. And in general, I watch characters in television and movies where I enjoyed them. But a character shouldn't be likable only when your MC likes them. Zahra doesn't even seem to be enjoying herself. She insults Grace and gets made when your MC refuses to drink. I also like how your behaviour affects your choices, but either way, you still have to work with them and they still stick with the group. There is only one time in the series where there is a relationship check. And even then much didn't happen. Which is the biggest disappointment for me. I don't mind a balance, but why should you have to put up with people that don't even try. I like some of the more serious characters like Jake and Estela and I dislike the nicer ones like Raj, but why do you have to be in a team with people that you hate? It's not like they're an endangered species. Wouldn't it be interesting at one point where when your MC has an important mission, the ones you like come, the ones you dislike leave on their own, and the ones who are neutral can either be persuaded or not? The only times where your relationship affects you is with the love interest(s). Heck, maybe the one that HATES you will attempt to murder you. And like I said, Raj didn't have much affect afterwards. The others NEVER affect the story.
