It is a shame that women in this game really only exist as stereotypes or trophies and not fully realized characters.

I think there is a lot of room to tell interesting and important Stories especially in a very sexist Society. Without undermining making it "too" modern.

*Looks at todays date*

I hadn't thought about it in a while, but last week some people who spoke neither German nor English asked for directions and I could just tell them to follow the green signs and ignore all others to reach their train. Clear and easy signs are super valuable!

But it is an uphill battle when the design is trying to get you to use it. That doesn't apply for all of these mechanics, but playing a game and fighting and uphill battle against the intended design in order to have fun isnt really a simple 50/50 choice I think.

Good info tho! It's good when you don't have to fight the games own mechanics to avoid over optimization of gameplay.

I will wait and see if the performance will be better in the final version.

I hate this for me too.
