I have a fractious relationship with the Styx series: I love its highly vertical and often punishing approach to third-person stealth, but I loathe its foul-mouthed, quippy goblin protagonist. I can't even stand the look of the bastard. Styx has made me cringe through dozens of hours of otherwise brilliant sneaking and terror-wreaking, and I guess it's saying something that I enjoyed pretty much every moment of Blades of Greed despite wanting to slug the sleazy green sod in the ear.
