I managed to artfully dodge 80% of the relationship bits in my first playthrough and had no idea it was meant to be a central theme. Like why the heck would I take a nap on the island after loudly declaring my arrival by boat? There's a murderer with a rifle somewhere around here!

Heath posted:My favorite video game essay guy makes this direct comparison in his video I think the game makes a pretty big distinction between the 'broadly apolitical and accepting the status quo' moralism of Kim and Actually This Is Very Good And The Best Of All Possible Worlds political Moralism, embodied by Sunday Friend. It absolutely hates third way radical centre types who actually believe in what they're selling

She's a garbage person who made her bed a long time ago and is desperately trying to find anyone else to lie in it, nothing of value of lost by booking her imo

My take on it was even if the mercenaries were inevitably going to do something she still wildly escalated the situation with the fake-hanging and threw all the people who were trying to help her under the bus the moment it became convenient and nothing she does or says indicates she's not going to continue using and abusing people to keep the feds off her trail for another few months whenever it next becomes expedient. Like the point of Harry's journey is most playthroughs is his recovery and ability to change and improve(?) as a person, nothing Klaasje does or says indicates she's learnt a single thing from the experience and she exits the game the same amoral void of a person if you let her skip out

A Wizard of Goatse posted:what lesson is Klaasje meant to learn, other than that she should die? Her options are to keep running, which will inevitably cause the powers that be to deflect their murderous energies onto the nearest available target, or to let them kill her, which won't stop the murders either. There's no future for her which contains a noble cinematic martyrdom, none where bunkering down with the Hardy Boys mean they survive and defeat the Moralintern together. Well honestly, that exactly. She's dug her own grave before the game even starts and keeps burning through anyone she can to avoid facing that reality, even when you make the big Volition check and get the 'real' story out of her it's still just more deflections which throw the person who did the most to help her into life threatening danger. Maybe she should just stop doing that

A Wizard of Goatse posted:yeah Very Important people want her dead and longterm survival is unrealistic, so she should just quit being a silly billy and take one for the team so those important people are not tragically forced to keep hurting others. How come people don't get that the Sunday Friend is the real protagonist I couldn't give a rat's rear end about Moralintern, but I do care about the next Ruby and the next Titus she's inevitably going to throw under the bus for another precious week of life

A Wizard of Goatse posted:the moralintern literally already sicced a kill squad on Titus before they had any idea she was around, Ruby's an outlaw well aware they'll eventually come for her, you cannot appease the oligarchy through human sacrifices and should probably interrogate your instinct to do so I don't know why you keep bringing up appeasing Moralintern, my only point is that she keeps burning other people to save her own skin and that's repulsive. Any sympathy I had for her vanished when I failed the check to stop Ruby killing herself

I was able to con my way to getting the 130, but with how tedious it is to collect cans, I don't think I am in for a good time if I have to collect 20 monies every day. I am assuming either money will become a lot easier to get or I will be able to find another place to stay somehow? Stressing out about being able to make rent is not my idea of a fun time.

dervival posted:yeah, given the remarks about Kurvitz/Hindpere/Rostov being involuntarily separated from the company sounds like this was a corporate coup. what a loving waste. From the comments section: quote:Imagine a kleptomaniac, if you will. Only that instead of stealing, say, "A Lolly pop", they take pains to manipulate dozens of people to steal, in the end, from themselves, just because they happen to be very proficient in that kind of an operation. It's what they always do, really. One of them was the first guy to be convicted for investment fraud in Estonia. All the same, idk if we would have managed to get the initial investment without these people. Seems to be the case

I don't think it would be reasonable to call DE a text adventure anyway, the isometric backgrounds do a tremendous amount of visual storytelling even if they don't serve a mechanical function for the most part

I think trying to tie the massacre down to the personal culpability of a single party is kind of missing the point anyway, as a violent confrontation between labour and capital of some kind was inevitable given the situation and the individuals involved just informed the specific shape the clash took

I really like the game goes out of its way to avoid the classic WRPG 'you, the player singled handedly changed the balance of power in the region by fighting every guy and going some sick nasty [100] persuade checks that made commited extremists radically change their ideologies and/or kill themselves from a single conversation' power fantasy that even the really good games like New Vegas like to do and the only actual good Harry can do is 1) his job and 2) maybe preventing the apocalypse by saving a church and doing dance music(???). It's very refreshing that you *can't* just do a golden route Communist Revachol run or whatever
