vg is a game where there a lot of parts I enjoy on paper and then you have to reckon w execution that keeps like. keeps immediately killing narrative tension before it can build
#I love rook as someone defined gy radical hope and bullheaded belief#but so much of what they run up against is just. poorly written obvious shitty government figures#or people who you’re supposed to dislike because they oppose u rudely#instead of being able to take a myriad of approaches to them and try appeal or at least understand their mindset#and then there’s the entirely seperate problem of the game lingering in issues that rook isn’t responsible for (team drama) which! FINE! I#enjoy a bad bitch shouldering responsibility as a way to keep control of the situation#but at the same time the game WONT???? let you linger in the guilt and shame and grief of calls rook literally makes?#I want guilt over weisshupt man! I want people tearing ur throat out over ur idealism ensuring u went in without a plan#how are you here empty chair therapy sessioning yourself over a friend’s death FIFTEEN MINUTES AGO when ur previous shouldering#responsibility for shit u can’t control did not come CLOSE the the magnitude of it costing someone’s life#and then there’s shit like Zara just. up and dying before really doing anything and Lucanis’s arc getting prematurely killed if you made a#critical choice which renders that writing decision even more baffling?#the entire time I was playing the confrontation with Aelia I was like wow this feels MADE for calpernia man this is relevant to her!!!!#tunes talks critical#the Gods’ main instance of vulnerability is expressed in a codex found in like#the second to last mission!!!!#veilguard critical
