still thinking about thickskin giving a dog whistle to the second group that she sent off into the wolf infested woods and telling them to use it if they needed to call her for help…babes…like…okay eyeee cannot judge what someone does in the name of self preservation right? like i don’t agree but i understand that her sister’s and her own survival were her priority so splitting the groups up so that she wouldn’t have to worry about being slowed down as much is like sure okay whatever BUT THIS TWISTED ASS BITCH really went as far as to ensure the group’s demise for what exactly??? like knowing that if there came a time they would have to use the whistle it meant in one way or another they were in a position were they were vulnerable and that would make it all the more easier for them to be hunted by the wolves meanwhile those poor people genuinely thought that the whistle was a signal to thickskin to come and help them. the more desperate they got the more they utilized it not knowing that it was leading the wolf pack right to them MY GOD there is not a place in hell hot enough for her. to believe that weak deserves to die regardless is disgusting but she really never even gave them a chance. there actually could have been people that made it out of there and found their way back to camp but she never gave them the fucking chance
and to have the audacity to turn around and give the same kind of whistle to red after asking him to help her camp…ohhhhh no just completely soulless she needs to suffer. blaming her was not enough i needed her to suffer the same fate she made for the people she got killed i needed her body ripped apart by the scourge she had a hand in creating
watching your friend kill her abusive shitty husband and then your first reaction being "what you want to do?" before proceeding to steal the guys identity at her request and become a way better husband is actually a great meet cute and I'm not sure why the guy was embarrassed to tell Red
I was fully ready to let the scudder boys get away with murder but then credence had to be shitty and threaten his cousin... I'm ok with murder but I draw the line at manipulation and disloyalty
idk as someone who watches tons and tons of streamers and letsplays before ever picking up a game (dark souls, lies of p, Pacific drive, dishonored, Alan wake) I personally find equal amounts of different kinds of joy in watching other people's experiences (including these reveals) and my own discovery (which inevitably is deeper and more vast because I Am The Best Video Game Detective For My Own Tastes) so I am 100% fine w the spoilers/beats shown of a game in marketing or on Tumblr or in TV tropes breakdowns
the only thing I don't want spoiled for me before I play is a games ending because - like for Shadow of the Erdtree - that can kill my whole experience and my motivation to finish. I will never defeat Shadow of the Erdtrees final boss and I will never finish Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden.
this isn't a statement about anyone else this is just verbalizing probably where I got my personal habits about consuming spoilers. since I was young i've always loved doing a deep dive on wikis and TV tropes for stories before seeing them and watching letsplays of games and just get hungrier and hungrier to actually get my hands on the thing and get to play and explore how I want to. :3
I just finished my playthrough and.. it's forever in my heart since now. Truly. I'm in love with this game.
Orpheus and Eurydice parallels broke my heart because I never understand why can't you just do it right man? Why cant you bring her back? Rules was so simple. Just don't look back you dumbass. (Game itself answering this question and shows you why it's so hard not to look back but i don't want to spoil the fun with spoilers)
