Deserves a mention, but gosh was it a bit heavy handed on the politics stuff. Was not expecting that for a fantasy setting.
Really? Fantasy settings have been political since forever, and Game of Thrones wasn't that long ago. I'm rewatching the extended editions of Lord of the Rings now, and while I can't remember the books' stances, the movie for sure has things to say about industrialization and environmental impacts when they cut to Saruman.
The parallels to 20th century politics make it borderline political satire (ala Animal Farm) in spots. I enjoyed it regardless though, but it wasn't what I was expecting
I don't suppose you've played Metaphor: ReFantazio? Because that's a fantasy setting with extremely obvious 21st century political satire. Anyway, I'm not trying to mock you for not expecting it or anything, but I've found political themes in fantasy to be very common and often the most compelling part.
I have not played that one
I would agree with them, it was a bit on the nose. I would argue that may have been on purpose though. I have the feeling the developer wanted to get their message across and went all in for that, instead of using analogies or keeping things a bit more vague. The rest of the game is too well written for the politics part to be this way because of a lack of writing skill or creativity. Maybe they just really wanted everyone to understand what this is about.
Like I said, it is very much on the nose, but I can get behind that, if the dev thinks that is something we need right now in the world. Which I would agree with.
It takes a lot of inspiration from Disco Elysium, which is not subtle at all (and is extremely memorable for it). Having an election be a constant thing that you had to think about was an interesting way to work it into the world imo.
I think it's even more in your face about it than Disco tbh
Oh it hammed it up for sure, to me it added to the charm but I can totally get if you weren't expecting it in the setting.
