The protagonist that nobody likes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nonsense. People love Lucas no? Though really as much as you'd work as a protagonist I think you'd be better off as a side character. The misunderstood one. The one that kicks ass when she wants but is on the most part in her shell. I dunno...
Nobody liked Jimmy, ya'know.
And even after the game I think the ending is BS and nobody is really buddy-buddy with Jimmeh.
If they do Bully 2, they shouldn't use respect alone, it should be respect and fear. A high rating of fear means a group might not like you but is so terrified of you they won't dare incur your wrath. Basically at the end of Bully everyone except the Townies are terrified of Jimmy and for good reason. He has Russell in hand and Jimmy beat Russell at the start and Russell is by a good margin the most powerful, capable of beating all the Jocks solo, the two together are terrifying. The Bullies are somewhere in between, some seem to like Jimmy but some seem to not like him and tolerate him out of fear due to the start of the game beat downs and of course Russell will do anything Jimmy says.
Since I can't help going into fantasy land, a high fear rating but low respect might have other cliques/factions with a similar opinion group together to try overthrow you/your clique. High respect but low fear basically has you as an 'errand boy/girl', either until you do something that breaks their respect (like doing something for the nerds would lower Jock respect especially if it works against their interest) or you do something that makes them a little more aware of what you're really capable of, for example beating on their enemies, more so if you have a reason and aren't just being a psychopath.
Certain actions both in quest and out and certain choices will change fear/respect and naturally it works on a scale, gaining the respect of one faction will almost certainly lower it with another rather than just having everyone respect you, everyone might be afraid of you but there's a good chance almost everyone would hate you too. No more stuffing Gord in a trash can for giggles and kissing him when he spawns 20 seconds later
Yes Hayley, I'm looking at you, ya damned psychopath
