Being unable or unwilling to understand and reflect on the game themselves as one plays it makes them retarded, unfortunately. Sort of a profound ailment because usually it’s about some obsessive insecurity probably. Sad.

theyre beyond help. new style arpgs all tell u directly what to scale skills off of, last epoch is like "if you click this passive the skill will now scale off of increases to fire damage" and people will look at it and start complaining that its too complex and you need to watch a youtube video to make a build lol

They could've just not given Charlotte her speech quirk. It wouldn't technically be a faithful translation but sometimes you need to make that call

L take, which in Charlotte's speech is paradoxically a W take

I think her accent is fine, they went a bit too ham in the text though.

I never really went too in on the original game so I don't remember what strategies they ask for, but honestly you're fine in the remake with whoever though. The class changes happen faster than the original so you can get some fun strategies going for any character early on.

The main thing new in the remake versus character selection, is that there's a new postgame fight unique to every character (in addition to a shared final dungeon and post-game boss), Duran's and Kevin's are the most fun, Angela's can be tough, Hawkeye and Charlotte's just kinda suck and are unimaginative, and Riesz's fight sucks, is unimaginative, and can be bullshit.
