Considering the nature and intention of our test I thought it may be useful to examine examples of betrayal done well in video games. To this end I decided to do an analysis of betrayal through looking at the Legacy of Kain series, which can be found here.

Considering that we want our betrayal to work out, having a realistic one to draw from may be useful.
If this one turns out to be useful there are plenty more examples in the series that can be analyzed later.

Just a few quick heads up!

I recently completed a source analysis of a study Kyle found during the Easter Break. You can find it included in the post underneath this one along with the original source, and I advise you all to take a good look through it. In my opinion, it's the most important source found yet, as not only does it relate to our test, provide lots of useful information to keep in mind and cross reference to other research papers we've done, it also proves part of our hypothesis correct!

As part of the teams ongoing research, I've completed a short two page document analysing Katherine Isbister and Clifford Nass' study, 'Consistency of Personality in Interactive Characters.'
