kinda hit a wall with this in act 2. jumping from fight to fight is boring and not fun, i never care that much about combat in these games, so ... fuck my drag i guess. The tone is generally so tightly managed that the occasional glimpses behind the curtain (karlach says "body horror" ... Get that dr horribles bullshit OUTTA HERE!!!!!!) to remind u this a game by bisexual musical theater nerds are extra sobering. i HATE games where none of your companions have an actual sexuality and kinda exist for you to pump and dump. it feels like gross, immature wish fulfillment. tell the player "no" sometimes; consequences are good, and i dont just mean “questlines.” is this a brothel w puss for sale or a NARRATIVE ADVENTURE? only lae'zel REALLY compels but she is great

Great review also I love your profile picture!
you are so smart its unreal
HARD agree, especially on telling the player "no" and letting characters resist you. laezel is the most compelling to me bc she's actually mean to you and has an agenda that isn't just "hang around the player until they want to interact with you".
thanks yall :0)
@reavingband yeah ... to your point about the balancing of narrative context/content between characters, i couldnt believe they gave me two people with magic hearts that need fixing. And one is "gale" aka who GIVES A FUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
