I finished it and it was way longer than expected. Still, the gameplay is a lot of fun on Ultimate III (and working up to it), but yeah, too much teenage drama.47 hours in, and still only in the middle of Act II. This game is really trying hard to be Firaxis Presents: The Sims, with the socializing component chewing up most of the time. And it's a lot hit ("What's worse? Canada or Limbo?") and miss (Caretaker mimimimimi), but mostly miss. Really wished they would have trimmed down the fat, but the fact that the game still motivates me is a testament to the robust core combat gameplay.
I'm not sure if I'm just the wrong demographic from what they were aiming for or if they just totally missed the mark.
Everything is teenage drama because it's the broadest audience demographic:
1. Younger kinds look up to teens and want to consume teen media
2. Teens like teen media because they're stupid and don't know better
3. Young adults like teen media because they haven't grown up and should know better
4. Older adults have no reason to like teen media but still consume it because mental maturity is a relic of a bygone era
5. Old people don't buy new shit
