I suppose that serving human flesh indeed is a bit of a problem for most customers, except if you are Hannibal Lecter. As you already said, even if the fast food serves human flesh, seeing the Night Raid attack them would be ridiculous.

Some nobles are certainly willing to use violence, but in the show they didn't violently opress the people. The count I mentioned as an example intended to rape Siesta, but used social convention to force her instead of violence or threats. Since it's a kid's show they nobles are not really violent agains the commoners, they use them as tools and are incredibly condescending. The nobles are far more violent against each other given the chance. It's not stated or heavily implied during the story that he is a masochist or enjoys Louise's abuse in any way. It's more that he for some reason likes Louise far more than the others despite her abuse, and wants her to be nice to him. I am not very involved in the series, but the fact that he end up with Louise while he has three beautiful and nice girls that love him and treat him kindly just doen't make any sense to me. I know it's because she is the main heroine, but which guy would in their right mind choose the girl that treated him like a slave, physically abused him for no reason, starved him and then physically and verbally abused him some more. She also looks like she is ten years old, while the others at the very least don't look like little children.

You are right that the Combine seem far more cold and pragmatic compared to the Empire's greed and corruption. Najenda could indeed take Breen's role. She could either do so after he is killed, or before the start of the story and be killed by Night Raid who didn't understood her reasons.

The Night Raid could meet up with the resistance and form a special subdivision. I have only played Half-Life 2 for around fifteen minutes, so I can't really say what would be a good time period for the story. Their opionion of the Xen and Vortigaunts is largely dependent if they are allies against the Combine or enemies that want to invade earth. Anyway, they would be considered extremely weird by Night Raid.
