if i think about the dd2 rewrite backstory for sarmenti too much i will get mad and start throwing up and crying
#THE ORIGINAL WAS SO COOLLLL LET HIM KILL HIS SHITTY KING!!!!#.mid#darkest dungeon 2 as a whole seems very obsessed with the idea of characters having to feel remorse for their abusers#and it being like. a righteous thing. audrey was done so dirty too#like the original game’s lore worked because it did not try to moralise the actions of the heroes necessarily#like. there was an ambiguity towards what was ‘acceptable’ violence and ‘sin’ in the dd world#which made it interesting to discuss what exactly the fatal flaw each character had was#like sarmenti is deemed to require redemption because he killed his king. but he’s not guilty. and his king was torturing him first#there’s nuance there and it feels like everyone in universe Gets that. such ambiguity is supported by things like the sanitarium#and its self awareness as a ‘factory’ meant to repair those who are unfit for work to get them To Work again#characters lack agency and fall to the whims of what society deems acceptable. which is reflected in the way the characters see themselves#and going back to an audience perspective. it’s why characters like the antiquarian are interesting#but in dd2 they’re just brazenly like Lol nah she’s an evil bitch who wants moneyyyy like. doesn’t everyone. why is she deemed evil#what sets her aside from highwayman then? WHO GOT THAT STUPID PRISON BACKSTORY TOO#darkest dungeon#this goes in the main tag maybe prople want to see me complain#anyway. one last complaint for now. audrey got done so dirty in general#only thing i like about her rewrite is her lounging in the mansion and letting it fall to ruin and just running away afterward#but i do NOT like her husband being abusive because he was an eeeevil drunkard with an evil bad addiction that made him evil#and i think it’s weird the game kind of implies audrey is ‘becoming like him’ due to her obsession with riches + dd2 making it canon#she is an alcoholic? is it meant to read like a ‘look she’s turning into her evil abuser’ thing? it sucks….
