The only GS character with a larger family than Amiti is Jenna. o.o This kid has a REALLY BIG family as far as main characters go.

We got:

Dad- Alex
Mom- Veriti
Uncle- Paithos
First Cousin Once Removed- Mia
Second Cousin- Rief
Second Cousin- Nowell

Versus Jenna's:

Mom- Jenna's Mom.
Dad- Jenna's Dad.
Brother- Felix.
Niece/Nephew- ???
Son- Profit! Matthew
Husband- Isaac
Father-in-Law- Kyle
Mother-in-Law- Dora

So, really, Jenna has two more named family members IF Felix has a child, and IF we count in-laws as family. Versus Amiti who has six blood relations, including a dead mother.

Why bring this up? Because I find it really frickin' cool. I mean, to go from a character like Sheba with ZERO family, maybe Faran+wife, or Ivan who's life changing moment is finding out he has ONE family member, to Amiti who suddenly gets two cousins and a Mia, I think that's just a really cool bump-up in complexity. =D We kinda expect it in a Next-Gen game anyways, but c'mon. It's really frickin' cool!

Or I'm a nerd. I dun care.

Plenty of opportunity for incest.

Camelot obviously planned ahead.

Part of the reason why Jenna's family is so big is because she married a named character that had his own family. If she married Garet then her family would be enormous. Similar deal for Amiti, since he's got Mia's family to draw upon as well.

Yeah, but Jenna isn't necessarily blood-related to Isaac/Dora/Kyle, whereas Amiti does share a blood-line with Mia/Rief/Nowell. I think that's part of what I find so neat. I didn't think of Tyrell though, so he's probably got Amiti beat even without mystery cousins included =P

That's just perspective. Jenna isn't related to them by blood, but Matthew is. Just change it to "Matthew has the biggest non-Tyrell family" and it all works out.

It was sort of a First gen vs. Second gen call really ^^U I think the person in DD with the smallest family is Sveta since she only has Volechek, but otherwise the rest of the characters have at least 2-3 other family members. Even Himi has her parents, brother, and creepy dead aunt.

Again, you expect it from a game that shows the children of the first characters, but I just really love how with Amiti/Rief they actually threw in obscure relations like "Second Cousin" and "First Cousin once removed". It's a spark of that in-depth thought I for one really love about Camelot ^_^

It's impressive considering most RPG heroes just get like, a dad and a deceased mother or something. *^_^

Adopted or adoptive? I'm pretty sure her brother is Faran's natural child.

Right, but she's the adopted one, so they're all her adopted family.

Or maybe they would be her adoptive family. Not sure of the precise use, there.

I think, if we're talking about the family in relation to Sheba, they're adoptive. If we're talking about Sheba in relation to the family, she's adopted.

Nec's got it right. They're her adoptive family, she's their adopted daughter/sister.

I stand corrected. I'll need to watch out for that.

You forgot Jenna's grandparents and aunt. She was living with them after the storm.
