@prinkasusa One of my best friends has severe cystic fibrosis and doctors refuse to give them a hysterectomy despite asking for it since being a teen for the same reasons. They bleed for months at a time if not years, and it's caused many other issues like an iron deficiency as a result.
There are 3 major components in a video game:
Mechanics
Story
Graphics
If you have to pick only 2 that are exceptional - pick mechanics and story.
I don't believe there has ever been a game in the history of gaming where someone has said "the story and the mechanics were awful, but the graphics were so good, I couldn't stop".
On the other hand there are games with bad mechanics and bad graphics, but the story captivated a group of stubborn people to the point they slogged through anyway.
And games where the story and graphics were bad, but the mechanics were so fun people kept playing.
Good graphics without good story or good mechanics to go with it mean nothing.
However, bad graphics become far more noticeable when the mechanics and story both suck.

@fragmentums Great mechanic, loved it. Just wish they all were as crazy impactful as the first couple were. Half of the ones in Act 3 were kinda flaccid, but I still loved it.
@TwilightSomnus Alisa haters like to pretend this exact scene doesn't exist and lie that she was a bitchy tsundere for 5 games. She completely drops it after this and is by far the most well-developed female character in the arc. People are just on crack sometimes.
