I wish there were other ways to access Irem besides Evolution. I don’t hate Evolution, there are parts I like and parts I don’t really care for, but it feels kind of railroady compared to similar content like (ironically) the railway where it feels like you have meaningful choices about how you want to go through the story

I guess technically you get to choose the Naturalist’s fate for him at the end (which… I feel like shouldn’t be a choice you make, it should be his choice informed by how you’ve advised him along the way), but otherwise there is only one route through the story for the most part

I realize I’m maybe in the minority of the player base here by having multiple accounts, but part of what I enjoy about that is being able to explore plotlines from different angles. And Irem is a cool location! The Iremi destinies offer a lot of room for expanded characterization, it’s just frustrating (to me) that you have to play through the exact same storyline again in order to access those options for different characters

#it makes sense to design it this way knowing that most ppl will only play through once on their only/main account #was just thinking about Irem in terms of wanting the hanged man destiny for Henry #evolution as a whole is actually exactly his jam #pushing the limits of biology in search of immortality is like. very much what he’s interested in #I just personally don’t want to play it again for a while bc I played it too recently and it would just be repetitive #I played with Ambrose first for the experience and then Emery so they could get more zeefaring/monstrous anatomy items #evolution spoilers
