"It's Important to Make Mistakes" Say Hello to Aaron Paul's Dispatch Character: Robert Robertson

One of the most effective methods for getting players to care about a protagonist in a game is to make that character's journey relatable, and according to Dispatch's Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad, Westworld, BoJack Horseman), his character Robert Robertson is exactly that. After his mech-suit is destroyed in battle during a fight with his nemesis, Robertson—AKA Mecha Man —takes a job at a superhero dispatch center where he is forced to work with those who were once his foes. That alone makes for a compelling setup for Robertson's arc in Dispatch, as it has the words "identity crisis" written all over it.
