The village section's visuals and all that dialogue is so good too at setting the tone that carries through the game of humanity being kind of on its last legs/diminished in this world.

Ooh, I love this one! Maybe can't quite live up to its legendary reputation in parts but still a lovely little game in a load of tiny different ways! Definitely looking forward to this thread

It really sucks how you can see his shittiness/edgelordiness bleed into a bunch of other stuff he's worked on over the years too (thinking mainly of Kotor2 personally though!)

I hadn't done any quake mapping in a few years and it was nice to come back to for this, excited now to see people smash it against the wall in all the ways I didn't expect

honestly its almost impressive that they managed to make an fps structurally incapable of level design (maybe encounter design too if I'm feeling bold)

Neverwinter Nights 2, Mask of the Betrayer: The PC curse requires souls to satiate and will kill you if not fed. You can forcibly supress/feed it your own soul but it'll permanently harm you. OR if you go the chomping route, the more you eat, the worse it gets and the more you need to feed

Armageddon in various ultima games, is probably what you're thinking of

I love Ezri too in a different way, but Jadzia's complete confidence in who she is/wanted to be was always so wonderful

I came through the influence chain backwards and watched bubblegum crisis long before I'd ever even heard of SOF, then once I got around to it just instantly recognised the sequence! Its wonderful, so much fun
