the problem w hoyos storywriting is that whatever themes they try to establish will never be actually followed through with or explored properly making it feel just really shallow & weak
#idk how to explain properly. many such cases though#one im thinking of rn is collei for sure but also the ipc in hsr. maybe will elaborate but also 11:30 so maybe not#like the thing about the ipc is that they cannot criticise the societal parallel in its entirety because they are in the societal parallel#& so they just feel weak as villains. idk#even in the topaz quest 😭😭 as a viewer i was like well obviously the ipc swooping in & reposessing an EMTIRE PLANET#is bad & it is deeply predatory for them to do so whilst they are in the middle of a change in leadership disaster recovery & planetary#reconstruction. & then in game they want you to consider both sides as though the financial benefit is worth mass loss of freedom?????? it#was so bizarre. the ipc within hsr just fails because there's no material criticism of the system tht allows it to thrive (capitalism &#imperialism) & instead just criticism of it as an individual entity#which quite frankly is the basis of similar organisations & megacorps within scifi like its always a metaphor for capitalism 😭😭 & obvs they#wanted that but as a company survive on it so cannot fully explore that concept without criticising themselves#anyway. that is why i felt sooo weird seeing spoilers for the new quest LOL its like. this does not succeed in what it wants to say#+ why is no one else talking abt it
