#and again like i talked about years ago CQ and RV didn't have nearly as many issues

I’m reading through Birthright’s script again for a Takumi post and god I’m getting so frustrated again over just how fucking juvenille Treehouse made it. 

Every other line in BR’s script is a joke or otherwise a complete tone destroyer, characters-playable and NPCs both-don’t take things seriously and don’t even talk naturally (the amount of Mwahaha’s or Bwahaha’s is actually absurd, and honestly is probably the reason why people think the game’s written like a Saturday morning cartoon), some portrait changes are even made to accomodate these tonal differences, and that’s all on top of details being cut out.

This a character driven game with an emotion based foundation to support its cast, and when you fuck with the tone this much, clarity goes out the window.
