I'm curious about:

Esoteric Ebb

Fermi Paradox

Tooth and Tail

They all look like games which could be great and could also be ruined by having weak ideas. Disco Elysium spoiled me

Thank you. What do you mean by "a bit lib"? My tolerance is nonzero but low

It just seemed a tad to pro electorialism for my taste. Though I do think progessives are painted as force for good in the game.

It feels like a game created by a well meaing social democrat. Where as disco elysium feels like a game made by communists if that makes sense.

For something positive I do enjoy Esoteric Ebbs humour and whimsy.

Omg I'm trying my hardest to play as an Azghalist with the strong urthguard cleric build and

disagreeing with a point of framing in the game's writing

I'm at a point where passing the wisdom check gives me the option to do literal peace-policing to prevent a workers rally. I'm liking the other aspects of the game and I'm still curious about it, but it was jarring.

I picked "Azghal would be proud".

Whatever. It's been amusing so far. I'm just going to play with my own moral compass / whatever seems funniest and hope for the best.

Wisdom is the azgalist attribute if I recall correctly . Basically all excpet one ? Attribute follow a specific political movement/idea in the game.
