i'm ok with cyberpunk on a budget tbqh it sounds like this has better potential than cyberpunk's. rather than keanu partying between your ears you have a young upstart while you barely know what teled-phones are. it writes itself, really.

but it seems we'll have a choice of 4 geralts to play with. which is rather disheartening. and hopefully not all of them have the dumbest name ever. but somehow i doubt they dubbed this game 4 times with 4 different names.

back when they announced that we play an elder with a backstory in seattle people itt became torn between how we would interprete their words. on one hand you had the potential disaster of a bloodlines 2 with a set protagonist and a set everything. on the other, there have been less than completely blank slates before.

bloodlines 2 could have been like the pillars of eternity scenes where your character talks about their past lives. it's set in stone that you were a cultist in the ancient world. but there was some light customization to go along with it. when you choose to say that your past life joined the cult for power, you retroactively decide that's what the past was like. and so on.

what we do know for sure is that the protagonist is voiced and that lou references them by name in that scene. apparently we also have 4 clans to pick from. pre alpha or not, it is very likely that 'phyre' is the name of the character we play and instead we get to choose what sort of clothes they wear that night. ie, the choice of clans is a choice of which version of phyre we'll play as.

i like the premise. but i don't think bl2 will be much like bl1.

So previously it has been looking as modern cringe but actual sequel to bloodlines, now it's looking as that utter dogshit Swansong game plus some anime combat addition I guess. Man, what a time to be alive.

It is a achievement to create such bland voice acting/Animations that the fans are wondering are they Ai generated.

Curious if some people might return as a cameo? Christoff would of course be amusing.

Jack is supposed to lead a nomadic lifestyle, so could change cities naturally. Pisha would be another such character. They also made allusions to a yellow cab, and I assume it would have a driver...

umm no I killed Pisha for spreading fake news about Kristallnacht so it's not possible try again
Chunk will return, though, screencap this

Step 1. Be a learning animal.

Step 2. Recognize patterns.

In the hands of modern writers and gamedevs. It's over.

Being forced to listen to something that you've already read and internalised is tedious, verging on irritating. Better to strip it altogether and leave voice lines to cutscenes
