"Baldur's Gate 3 had..." Let me stop you right there. On one playthrough I was a paladin that tossed every degenerate character off a ledge, smited them into oblivion or burned them to ash with Dragonborn breath.
Was any of that an option in Veilguard?
I rest my case.
Confirmed twice that it's her Trainer on a bicycle behind (source: magazine+sokopaka)
An actual love letter written behind, where Suzuka expresses how much she loves running 15 times, for it to end with a "Lately I've realized, the face you have when I look back, I love it too."
This encapsulates everything wrong with the western gaming industry.
They genuinely refuse to work alongside and exist with people different from them and this need to let their activism control every aspect of their lives also leaks into the games they make.
When you make an RPG the whole point is getting to choose your role, including your own politics in a vacuum isn't the issue, but the fact that they NEVER let you disagree with it.
In New Vegas you can choose to be a genuine racist and there's dialogue options that reflect that, in games like Veilguard they straight up don't allow you to disagree with their characters or worldview, they don't want you to because they want to preach to you, not make a good game.
If you wanna have a non-binary character in your rpg then sure, but add a dialogue option where I can say there's only two genders too.
Absolute KINO ending. There's something so powerful in giving both the characters and the audience hope this time. Very sappy, but at the same time also so sincere.
If I use male Trainer, that means I'm self-inserting.
If I use female Trainer, that means I'm imagining her to be so hot that I want to fuck the living shit out of her.
Once again, communication in Japanese is hell if you are autistic.
Everything is secretly a code for something else. Nothing is ever said directly - even if the meaning is immediately apparent to everyone "in the know".
