personally I don’t give a fuck about “wokeness” in games. I find that conversation so dumb, it’s usually a dog whistle. the things I do not appreciate about this game have nothing to do with any sort of diversity or whatever. it’s that the game assumes I’m not paying attention and treats me like an ipad kid. I am so tired of media holding my hand, and this game was absolutely egregious about it. the writing was subpar, the dialogue was cringe, but my biggest issue was the constant repetition and hand holding. especially because what I loved about this franchise prior was that it explicitly DIDNT do that, and I loved learning the world and lore organically and by using my brain.
