And I really shouldn't care. It bears the burden of being Bloodlines 2 when it (seemingly it ain't out yet Lol) begs to be another Vampire game instead. If it's good for reasons separate to its predecessor it's still a success and I'm having to stare that disconnect down the barrel while being upset

My condolences to those who have to relocate their audience to another platform but damn finally

Like. I do not care. I do not care that Concord or Dustborn or whatever wasn't well-received. I'm sure that monkey game is pretty cool comparatively I just don't care. Please man release me from gamer discourse i need to get off the internet and squat in an abandoned cabin in the woods

I feel like it even coincides with a more generalized media-consuming expectation that you're not supposed to be moved or roused by fiction. Perhaps this isn't a new phenomenon and I'm just naive but this SHOULD be mutually exclusive right

LIKE I KINDA GET IT Placide is a bastard and Astarion deceives you etc etc but can you just take a step back and have some humility or at least realize the writers aren't trying to offend you personally or something

I see it a lot in discussions about cyberpunk 2077 or other rpgs of that nature where a character insults the protagonist so it becomes the goal of those gamers to brutally murder this fictional pixel-woven ass individual every playthrough because they called their player surrogate mean names
