Ellie in the first game wanted her life to have purpose. Later in the game she finds herself with a girlfriend and a baby and a wonderful home and she gives it all up for vengeance. Ellie lost all of her personality from the last game and developed into a darker version of Ellie that the players did not have time to fully understand why or play it. Ellie wasnt a vengeful person in the last game that fell more under Joel's role. I can understand Ellie wanting to hunt down Joel's killer once but twice dosent seem to fit Ellies profile from the previous game. She had it all and gave it up. I felt like this was the company trying to force Ellie into the roll that fit better for the storyline rather then adapting the storyline around Ellie. Also making the players play Joel's killer all at once trying to get us to sympathize with her all at once seems cruel. The game was also annoying because the easiest level was still extremely hard compared to the last game which made the storyline aspect of the game infuriating and hard to enjoy. I cant believe we all waited for so long for this game to come out, just to watch Ellie loose everything and find nothing redeeming. While forgiveness is a redeeming quality I truly believe that Ellie was never a vengeful person to begin with.
