Brigg, who is about to turn 50, is your oldest non-immortal party member in the game. They had been a commander in King Ith’s army until they retired a few years ago in order to allow their young protegeé, Tiana, to take her place. Brigg supports Tiana completely.

Despite their age and numerous battles, Brigg has remained feminine in a very girlish, innocent way. They’re a tomboy for sure- all swords, punches, and bloodshed… but they’ll return from a hard day of brutal training with a sunny disposition, and then make flower crowns for the younger warriors to help them relax. Brigg was born in a tiny village far outside of Brigantia, but ran away to join the military when they were a teenager. So, they’ve been fighting longer than many of your party members have been alive. They’re also incredibly optimistic, and will try to do the right thing whenever possible.

I think this abomination is also romanceable lmao

Most of these if not all character bios are hilariously cringy in worst traditions of post Dragon Age 2 Bioware.

Blathering dude in trailer said:
"I don't understand what's happening.."

Me neither, I can't understand most of that garbled speech either. So, no clue what is going on other than colors and confusion.

They are not even consistent with this bullshit...

Personally I don't care as much about the coupe of uses of the term 'they' in that quote (I don't get my panties in a twist over silly things like that, even though I understand that pandering can be very annoying) as I do about the fact that the writing is just of shit-tier quality in *general*. That honestly reads like an 11 year-old wrote it. I've seen porn with better writing. You can go sentence-by-sentence through this thing describing why it's awful and *wrong*.

The color reminds me Thanos, also in this trailer I seems to see

and

. The big ship reminds me DOS:2.

The graphic looks very themed. The music is pretty good too. But the scenes feels very distracted and little related to each other on the concept level.

Why do these woke games always have an artstyle with too many saturated colors plastered everywhere? Has World of Warcraft and League of Legends destroyed a generation of lead artists?
That and Critical Role. They both showed you can hide your bland artstyle with bright colours and simple minded Zoomers and Millenials will slurp it up. It's not about actually being good. It's about being popular because it's popular.
Unique setting, poor combat and janky bug-ridden launch?

Sounds like a future cult classic.

:excellent:

Games that were janky with poor combat used to fall into two camps. Ambition outpacing resources and practicality, or genuine lack of ability. Either one had bad management. Something Bioware was especially guilty of. "manage the game shitily and it'll all come together in the end. Muh Bioware magic." There are no more good devs at Bioware or hell any of it's off shoots. Recently we've seen the complete disappearance of the first type. I can't tell you the last great but flawed Eurojank I've played in the last five years. People took the wrong lessons from those games. They thought, "'it's okay, we'll release when it isn't ready and patch it later. People liked those janky games from before, right? We have nothing to worry about."
