1. Yeah, I figured as much. That's a shame too; we don't often see characters with arcs that develop.

2. Not quite as much. Lee's personality, background, and motivations are all fixed. It's a bit like how Niko Bellic and John Marston are fixed characters. At the same time however, you still have wiggle room in determining some of their actions. As far as characters go, Lee is well-written and developed. A lot of people really like Lee. Hell, in my blog about the game, Lee got the majority vote out of 178 (when asked which character was their favourite).

He was an actual human being, whereas Clap Trap was a robot. Then again, Clap Trap probably has more personality than a lot of the other characters in the running.
