I remember making a comment about the way the narrative of the second game was set up it didn't make the antagonist anywhere near as sympathetic as I think they wanted her to be.
Turns out I did in response to... DoubleF!

I recently finished TLOU2 per an earlier comment in this thread, and I can't agree more. Having the player play as Abby was an interesting choice, and obviously Druckmann wanted the players to see things from her perspective and sympathize with her, but when you've had the entire game up to that point build her up as an absolutely horrible antagonist, you don't feel a lot of sympathy. Not as much as Druckmann probably wanted the player to. And it's because everything was presented out of chronological order. If I had played as "young" Abby to begin with, and weaved her story in between Ellie's, it would have made me much much more sympathetic.

I still couldn't agree more, DoubleF! I too hope in the TV adaptation they weave the stories of the protagonist and antagonist together, in (closer-to) chronological order.
