I've been pondering ('Are you pondering what I'm pondering Pinky?'
'I don't know Brain....isn't a elephant too big to fit into that
dollhouse?') Issac, and have come to the conclusion that he's
entirely unrealistic...barring his receiving severe brain damage in
the Marines, there is no way a kid with a SOC of 3 is getting into
med school with a below average intelligence.
I think his INT should be kicked up several notches, say B, C or
D...he's a street kid, or was raised by wolves, or in a Romanian
orphanage or something. The ONLY thing he has going for him would be
INT for that kind of career.
As it is, he can lift a can of peas off the counter, barely, and gets
out of breath walking down the hall...and not only doesn't know which
fork to use, he's barely aware he needs to use a fork...(which also
means I've got to change how he's behaving as well. I'm probably
going to go with bookish and awkward, which ties in with the physical
stats.)
Every other character in the game has three, four or five stats well
above average...If I play him to his stats, this is just going to be
a long exercise in frustration, I think, and likely kill other
characters if he actually DOES have to practice medicine.
