Don't forget that at least some of that was heavily influenced by Orthax (not to mention PTSD from witnessing his whole family brutally murdered...) ...and remember that the general arc was towards more merciful tendencies (like him fairly quickly forgiving his sister for her betrayal, and, even more incredibly, Dr. Ripley as she was about to kill him.) On the other hand, I did want to slap him when (near the end) he tries to make some sort of "deal with the devil" to undo Vax's death; I just wanted to shout, "You moron, what Vax needs more than anything else is for you to take care of his sister in his absence, and this is the absolute last thing he'd want you to do." Fortunately, Matt saw to it that those self-destructive tendencies ran into a brick wall, and he was "forced" to accept his personal happy ending (which made the most sense narratively anyway...)
