#rt and companions: 💀💀💀💀💀💀

[erme-maererme]

commoragh is without question my favourite part of the game. with the area made of endless platforms, stairs and levels you are always moving upwards, digging yourself out of your grave (you literally start the quest in the pile of bodies at the very bottom). this layered structure where every area has its own particular brand of horror and torment and its own "sinners" is reminiscent in its logic with the classic concept of the nine circles of hell. i mean commoragh is functionally hell. you still have a camp there. if the previous chapter ends with the rogue trader on top of the world, commoragh strips you of everything. you are less than insignificant. your body is failing you. every single one of your companions is living through their personal nightmare. you could never imagine seeing them quite as broken until you do. and honestly you are not doing any better. you still have to put yourself together and drag each other to safety. and the importance of commoragh for romance cannot be underestimated. what can be more romantic than forced vulnerability and having no choice but to rely on each other to survive.
