@a7 @BlinkRape @LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Silverhand isn't really meant to be likeable. The deep lore on him is that he's basically a sociopathic rockerboy and there's some narrative silliness involved. Basically he wasn't meant to be a character that was played. Just kind of a "hey look, its that crazy guy, isn't that a crazy story" that was drafted in the 80s cause that's when the game originally came out.

At some point he was given an actual stat sheet so he could be in a purchasable module. Because rockerboys need an empathy stat to do things they set his high. But someone apparently asked how that works out and R.G. basically responded yeah Silverhand's "actual" empathy score is like zero, but mechanically had to be maxed or he wouldn't function, so it's basically *canon* that he's garbage.
