Simoun, I'm assuming Rufus remains the literal worst protagonist ever, that's what made me stop playing after the second game

That is correct. In the third game, Rufus allows the death of 2 children to be eaten by a giant slime monster (played for comedy), and breaks up the relationship of a character from Game 2 by tricking the gf (a black woman btw) into becoming a dancing girl for a horny organ grinder. All for 5 bucks.

And yet, by the end of the third game, Rufus "sacrifices" himself by jumping to his death so that others may live.
It ends with him laughing at the fact that he just can't seem to "change" as if his previous acts were justifiable. One thing the 3rd game tries to do though is finally explain why Rufus and Cletus look alike and why Rufus is an asshole by default. But it feels so ham-fisted and since there's no Redemption Arc (Goal sides with him always) it's pointless anyway.

It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you.
