i mean... its more loathing i guess.
i dunno i bought this game as soon as i saw it cause im stupid and forgot that i didnt like west of loathing. but man. this game is just wildly ok.
the dialogue feels a lot more long winded than before, which is a lot more annoying because the jokes themselves arent as good either. combat is really frontloaded, everything interesting happens turn one, and even then its not that interesting. progression via books is whatever but i chose cheese wizard and that class feels like it has a hard time dealing more than 3 damage to multiple targets.
art is a lot better, and some jokes did in fact get me to laugh. however naming myself "michael rackpipe" made me laugh a lot harder than any of the jokes that the game made. formula is pretty annoying, i liked how west was just one big world instead of 5 or so small ones. i feel like if i watched someone else play this i would have a lot more fun.
i guess i just got tired of it. for a black/white rpg the battery consumption is pretty massive on my deck too for some reason, though i may be too used to trails being able to last for like 8 hours on a full charge, lmao
