Oh, that's unfortunate. I'm sorry you feel that way. Personally, though, I don't feel characters providing a bit of comic relief takes away from the premise. After all, the subject matter and the trials the characters will face in the Wastes remain unchanged. I suppose I just like the idea of having a varied cast of characters. If you change your mind, you're welcome to stick around, but if it's not what you're looking for then good luck with your future endeavors.
