There's a difference between characterisation and slapstick. If, high on self-confidence, Abe then stumbles inelegantly before recovering, that is characterisation, it's more subtle, and still brings him back to reality. Falling over is slapstick. There is a place for slapstick, but I haven't seen the game yet, so I can't judge whether it's right or not.
