How Bad is a Game in Which Philippe Marchant has -4 opinion of the PC

I ask because my latest game has this at the beginning - but also has Silent Alice as the familiar with no Mod! Whenever I get this or worse with Joana, I simply reload because she makes my character unconscious often. But is Philippe so bad?

Although Philippe is bad I would try it if I want the familiar, one problem with Philippe is his familiar (2 point of dmg)! So you have to spend some actions to get him from -4 to 0 or 1 as soon as possible but with luck he not taking actions against you till that is done.

I take it he's at -4 because of Bitter Hatred and you being in Morvidus as well? If so, just take it. You took the negative background, let it have a negative effect. It's not impossible to rush something to get him back to positive relationship anyway.

I was thinking this as well. Save-scumming is my friend in this game.
