Alfred Was Too Good To Be A Playable Character In Gotham Knights
One important question that fans waiting to play Gotham Knight were wondering is…why isn’t the great Alfred Thaddeus Crane Pennyworth playable?! Well, we got the official answer.
The narrative director ,Ann Lemay, has written this response when asked if Alfred is playable on the game’s discord:
Sadly, no. We did consider options for this VERY early in production, but narratively and scope wise this didn't work out for us. We had to not let Alfred be playable, for fear his sheer badass awesomeness made everyone else pale in comparison.
Damn, this could’ve been a perfect game if Alfred was playable. I guess playing Batgirl will have to do for now. Maybe one day we’ll see Alfred as DLC.
