5. Elena Is A Trained Killer Now?!

Speaking of Elena, once she's back in the story for good, her presence is intended to evoke a feeling of "Why the hell didn't I clue her in from the start?". It's a valid thought process, and Nate even mentions to himself after seeing her jump between a sizeable ravine, "A girl like that, and you p*ssed her off".

However, come another stealth/fight scene as you enter Libertalia, Elena's A.I. will start snapping necks and shooting goons like nobody's business. Seriously, I had a beat where I was pinned down by one guy and an assault rifle, only for Elena to spring up and wring his neck like she's cracking a glow-stick.

It's just something of a conceit for this series that wanton violence is forever at odds with the cheery and charming nature of the protagonists, but where in this character's history did she start learning to dispatch villains like Rambo?!
