The same problem plagues Deadfire's intro and worldbuilding.

Good to see more and more videos coming up against the praise this game received.

I am curious if the romanian screecher part of the codex,toro is that you?

too long; didn't watch version:
the writers are talentless hacks with zero experience writing for an interactive medium
"play, don't show"

Very idiotic video, yeah Obsidian goes above and beyond to show all the secrets in our faces but how the fuck Phineas NOT saying "corporations are bad" fixes the whole game? Even if I was going in blind I'd just assume corpos are bad, its purposefully obvious at every turn.

Always wondered what happened to Previously Recorded. Guess it wasn't Jack being lazy.

Great video, glad to see him back.

Eh.. The corporations are the bad guys obviously but then you've questionable moraly people leaders in the ''Anti-corp'' side.
It's more a question of who you think sides is less fucked up and would actually benefit more the citzen of this collony more than you want to take down the bad guys or the good guys.
The corporations are bad but they're actually worse than actual ''good'' guys ?

The old nature lady that would probably bring prosperity but kick out anyone who doesn't agree with her view of world and care more her personal vendetta over people vs the corporation guy that while isn't exctally competent and supports the corporation, but it's wiling adimit that's wrong and try to fix his mistakes if that means saving his town..

Thug lady that think killing people is actually freeing them from the corporation bullshit vs the scienstist that's selfish bitch and made questionable experiementes but still care about even if a little about their co-workers and have grief over his experiements once you reveal him the truth.. Anyway, i need to play to reach monarch , but i too busy with Digimon Cyber Sleuth. That game is good way better than Deadfire.


Edit: A comment in the video get my point across : ''Gonna disagree here. The world building feels like how okay are you maintaining the status quo vs breaking it up (usually) violently''

Just quoting because everyone does so.

In order to pull that off, you need both sides to be grey. Are the corporations portrayed as grey?

 

[Goral]

Corporations - no, but people working for them - yes.

Edit:
Playing this game made me appreciate Age of Decadence writing more than ever. When you compare persuasion/intimidate/body count/streetwise/lie, etc. checks it's night and day, in AoD they actually seem convincing, in TOW most of the time even a kid wouldn't be convinced by the presented response, e.g. :

Still, I rate this game 7/10 (even despite huge amounts of SJWism) and for me it's GOTY (which wasn't that hard, nothing of note came out).

I'd reopen the labor camps on the Danube - Black Sea Canal solely for Vee.

He really is overreacting game is fun you can meet character named Cleave and kill one of those strong independent wombyn Nue Obsidian put in charge in one of towns for him Comrade he even hook your ship with tones of meat if you do so.
You can kill all those chaos cultists, deviants and profligates using your Giant Hammer of Doom and wearing Top Hat in the name the LAW Game is pure

You might be a great comrade, but we'll have to disagree on this matter.

In a comradely fashion, of course.

Corporations - no, but people working for them - yes.

They try and give a minor amount of grey to The Board (like they did Caesar's Legion) by introducing a problem that maybe sorta justifies their actions near the end. However it still leads to a pretty "evil" ending. There is definitely a lot of grey in aggressively fighting The Board though, because you're hurting a lot of "little people" who aren't evil. It's a relatively good encapsulation of the issues with revolution/"terrorism" as a way to fight authoritarian governments.

This is some quality first grade dark humour right here. I actually chuckled.

I agree,with a communist friend of mine we like to half-joke that if anyone of us comes in to power,will reopen the holiday House of Belene and send the other in there .

I got bored and decided to do a video on Supernova run. It's like a quasi-Speedrun to see how the game reacts to 'Pro-Board' actions.
Not much to say on Edgewater conflict. Yeah you should just get past it pretty quickly, but in Supernova companions permanently dies so the Geothermal Plant can get dicey if you don't have a good weapon.



Finish the Geothermal plant and it gets easier from there. Groundsbreaker is basically non-combat EXP shower that pushes you 4-5 levels and pushes around 4000 bits to your wallet for clicking the right options. Ridiculous. In less than half an hour, we can head to Byzantium and enjoy a high-level hand-placed loot.



Ah, Byzantium home of the Level 21 hand-placed Plasma Rifle.
The Akande hit job is hilarious.
Tell the second hitman you want to listen to the victim first - she will offer a bribe.
Don't convince him to take it and tell him you want to let her live.
Now he will turn violent - kill him.
Intimidate the poor lady for 2000 bits.
Then pickpocket her for another 2000 bits.

There's reactivity to this:
If you do not let her talk, you cannot intimidate her to be paid off, and she only carries 2000 bits in her pocket.
But if you let her make that offer, the intimidate option will appear, netting you an easy 2000 bits.
Then you can pickpocket her for another 2000 bits.
Then kill her so Akande pays you well.
Once we stop laughing at the monitor, fast travel back to the Unreliable, switch to Parvati and Felix to listen to Felix's butthurt.
Akande is pleased and rewards you handsomely. Now she wants us to plant a tracking signal on Phineas' terminal - so it's off to his secret lab.

Woah,amazing,that much money woahh man,you are the best!





Nigga please,it is not like leaving the first zone i didn't have 30,000 floppy discs! It would have meant something if you buy something trough out the game,but that is not the case. Money are useless in this game.

My first run was a pro-Board one, with me being ruthlessly selfish. It had some fun moments like the one you describe, but overall I'd call it a meh playstyle. Playing the second time as a pirate style freedom fighter, it is VERY obvious that's how the game was designed to be played primarily.

Its not like game is not establishing that good doctor is good and corps are bad in f... intro of the game Comrade, of course you can help the board but only if you one of those people whose only motivation is profit for any cost and psychopath with little personal honor to boot cause the first thing those (((scum))) order you to do is

Spoiler

to send you to assassinate someone whose only crime was to know too much about board dirty business and the next one is to kill the people who sheltered and aided you (sure they benefited from your actions too but its OK since they could send one of theirs to do it also and you were technically speaking outlaw then) when you needed it most.

On the other hand the game has some gray in those side quests and you can argue that its better to reform the board instead of allowing the bloody revolution with all its consequence and anarchy to happen sure.

Its all pointless cause game is decent shooter and exploration game but most of good things in story is buried under tones of SJW crap with every male here either incompetent, weak and/or evil and every female intended by game to be better in their job and sporting dyke and danger hair cut despite that that their own art style (which I do love btw) show them wearing long Victorian style haircut, I mostly now hunting for my unique gun and weapons pieces to be honest at the moment, with no interest in story now what a let-down not only after Fallouts, New Vegas but even Tyranny Comrade You cant even declare yourself the new Caesar here Comrade.
