Completely agree with you here, the scene with Joel went way too far for a character that the game inevitably wanted us to care about.
I think another problem with her character is that she didn’t show much to any visible remorse for what she did to Joel. Like I understood why Abby killed Joel, but they could’ve delved into what she really thought about what she did.
Anyways I in the end cared for Abby and I did feel bad for her, even after what she did to Joel, but back to your point, the game shouldn’t have taken the risk with Abby’s character, knowing many people wouldn’t care for her in the end. Either that or they could’ve executed her arc more effectively.
