Next thing you're gonna tell is that she chucks her weapon like Saix throwing his weapon like crazy in Berserk mode.

My bad, my brain is way too offense oriented to recognize a shield. My brain instantly goes to either guns or swords.

Is she using a giant clock sword or something?

Look in my defense, I am busy with Trails Through Daybreak.

A lot of the characters were really great, but Clive as a protagonist just blew it out of the water for me. His changing motivations as well as relationships with other characters really made it worth it to play this game. He's up there as a goat protagonist for me.
