I always felt Kristoph was the worst written bad guy of the series because he really doesn't have a motivation to do what he did other than getting slighted just once.

Honestly, after all the "tragic past" sort of villains turned good, I did sort of like how Kristoph's deal was that he was just extremely petty. Hell, might be one of the most realistic motivations.

I liked him because he is just an opaque gently caress to the point where even his Psyche-Locks match up with it. Dude got turned down for his lifetime chance at fame and riches, used the fake evidence he was going to bring to trial to ruin many lives, including his own, and spent the rest of his life going mad with fear as poo poo snowballed wildly. Gavin is actually one of my favorite villains because of how impenetrably miserable and sinister he is, and his theme reeeeeally pairs well with it,

As opposed to continuing from trial to trial telling everyone they’re going to Hell just the same as his first appearance.

drat, holy, I knew they had the death penalty but I didnt know it was hanging. DGS never hides the politically commentary, but when I think about it, AA was always loaded. But since the western release changes the country it's set on, you sometimes forget how much of a scathing commentary the OG series was, too.

It’s pretty subtle as far as breakdowns go but it’s a favorite and makes the moment incredible effective.

Only sort of related but the topic reminded me: I think it's weird how much both the fandom and recently the devs themselves focus on the characters' breakdowns. Like, yes, it is satisfying to see the witness lose it after you expose them, but it would be satisfying even without incredibly over-the-top theatrics being involved. They have the opposite effect of completely taking me out of the experience. I think you only need something small like, exactly, Vasquez breaking her pipe instead of the whole minute freakouts that have kind of become standard.

The two 3D ones kind of over-ritualized it, especially with SoJ giving Nahyuta one that gets used every case. It doesn't bother me that much but it does feel more artificial.

I kinda like 'em, but not everyone needs one, and Nahyuta repeating his big freakout every case was too much, especially since it didn't actually seem to affect him afterwards.

Roger Retinz was one of my favorite recent designs in that regard. Case 6-2 in general was fantastic.

I want the next prosecutor to saw the bench in half when he first eats poo poo in a trial. The bench is of course miraculously fixed the next time you see it.

The breakdown depends on the character and the motive imo, but absolutely some get too overused which deflates some climatic tension at times. I love seeing a real bastard of a man, especially one in a lot of power, being shattered (DD Case 3 is really satisfying in this regard).

I don't have a problem with Gavin's motivation, but his whole arc in the game fell very flat with me. Plus, I honestly expected the developers to mine the relationship with his brother for dramatic potential and they just did not.
