at least the other characters’ attitude towards Rufus was (imo) justified, cause and effect and all that.

I did start the second game in the series, but was so put off by the tutorial - where Rufus tries to get some tool from a box, but fucks up so hard that he pushes a grandma’s pet parrot through garbage disposal. It was played for comedy, sure, but I hated every moment of it.

Sure, main characters of point & click games tend to cause all kinds of mischief along the way, but Rufus’ actions just feel … wrong?
