This game's gonna be fantastic. If it isn't...I'll eat an entire truckload of ergot in one setting.

Am I a dick for thinking I'm smart for not being confused at the idea of "The game doesn't say for certain who did it?" It's not the MCU, they're not gonna explain it outright for the lazy layman. Then again, I can see how people would go into it thinking they're gonna be so smart for guessing it's the rich guy upon pressing start, only to be dumbfounded when literally nothing is answered for sure. I do hope that the writers knew who did it at least, so the story isn't riddled with obvious plot holes in a failed attempt to make sure for "certain" that no one figures it out. That'd be annoying. IIRC Her Story did that, and it sucked. Either way, I'm expecting the lack of clear answers to be something that divides critics and players when the game comes out. And IMHO I'm gonna praise Obsidian for that decision either way. I was the one who defended Firewatch when they had an ending that was actually thought provoking instead of some dumb MCUy "you press X to punch the bad guy in the face" ending, and the one who defends EVA for ending on a vague, cool, weird outta worldly piece, instead of "everyone lives" or something. I'm sick of seeing people who think neoliberalism is the only way to write stories. We NEED more stories that are willing to take a stance, and taking a stance against objective reality in fiction is one step to a more Anarchist (read: free-thinking) way of storytelling.
