Plenty of CE in mortal cities as well.Because CE is a pain. It’s the Griefer alignment. Tho I don’t agree that it *is* a pain now, at least the city part. You just point where you want to go and the world revolves around you. Which also happens to be how CE looks at the world.
In general I don’t want the Abyss to be happy fun QoL land. CE QoL ultimately sux.
Or or OR, and bear with me on this nova-hot take, they didn't have to portray one of the layers of the motherfucking cocksucking Abyss itself as basically just another mortal city you'd find in Golarion, only filled with "Chaotic Evil" denizens (but somehow enough societal organization still exists to allow for organized slavery).
Can't blame Owlcat for this, of course, they were simply working with the material they were given by Paizo, but good god fucking motherfucking damn, it's some grade-A garbage.

Owlcat has pretty good record in the two PF games of offering compelling depictions of the different manifestations of evil and how it plays out in practice and Alysshuriwhateveritscalled is another good one. As is Reg (tho he bleeds into LN and even LG because thry like him so much).
Which is what makes the one-dimensional and uninteresting character arcs of Wend and Cam all the more dissappointing. They’re little more than caricatures, and AreeSu not much better.
