Lukas Grey fanclub! Thats very cool.
Just as I said in the Diana Fanclub, his voiceacting and the characters creation definitely work together perfectly. LIke everyone else in my opinion in this franchise, Olivias voiceactors and her in game apperance and personality fit together just as well. I loved Lukas Grey especially at the end of Hitman 2016, when I figured out he is voiced by John Hopkins, who also voices Aaron Keener in The Division 1, another game I really enjoyed because of its story, and Aaron Keener just like Lukas Grey is a good one turned bad who practices his own sense of justice and new world order.
But sadly I have to say that I liked Greys character a bit less each game. At first I never thought he would be 47s brother, my bets had been on someone with another past linked to 47. We need to remember that at the end of 2016 we knew about Providence, Shadow Client and the ICA and that was it. My suggestion was that he was, like Diana turned out to be, some former relative or else of 47s past hits. Or someone who wants the world for himself and tick of Providence in the process. He felt like a very powerful, skilled assassin as we are introduced to him in Paris. This his whole masterplan of making the player kill targets he orchastrated in the shadows surprised me so much after Bangkok, I loved it.
But in Hitman 2, as we actively hunt him down so easily, and then wants us to join him… It felt a little like the meme where one asks “What now?” and the other replies “Dont know, Ive never came this far”. As if he had no plans whatsoever other than “To take them all down”, and from one moment to another, we are the ones carrying out his plans. I can see why alot of people didnt like him to turn against us at some point, but again, I hoped it would happen.
See, in Hitman 1 he made us hunt targets down and kill them for his benefit. In Hitman 2 then, we join his revenge path and now we, again, kill for his gains. In Hitman 3, we do the same again. Really well portrait in the first story mission in the game, where we are tasked to set up the perfect situation for him once more. After Dartmoore and the statics I heavily believed he turned on us now. Finally reaching his “final form” of being the most skilled, and dangerous of 47s enemies.
He didnt.
And thats ok. How the story ended was very nice, and promising. I still like Grey alot, and I definitely like his character concept, design, personality, voiceacting, everything that makes the character who he is. I just cant stop believing there would have been room for so much more if they just wouldnt have killed him off.
