土壇場 is a very interesting one. It means 'earth platform,' but it's very specifically a word for a platform made of packed together earth/dirt/etc, that they'd perform executions on in the Edo period of Japanese history. It's read as ディッチ, Ditch, which obviously has 'mass grave' implications. Ditch would have been fine here, but I guess they wanted to make the death connotation clearer, so they chose Eleventh Hour. Feel like you could have found a snappy word that had the execution connotations?

土壇場 is also just straight up a Japanese idiom that broadly corresponds to the English idiom of 'Eleventh Hour'. This Japanese dictionary defines it as a desperate/urgent situation.

Okay but what if you just want to have a simple well crafted experience without having to retune everything to account for the ways the dev is trying to twist your arm into buying DLC

Then you stop playing Ubisoft games.

I mean it would have been nice if they built up the first antagonist just a tiny bit more instead of his character essentially amounting to just being a shouty man in a big room. Idk if this gets better as the game goes on so :shrug:

You're absolutely right, they don't need to, no. I would have enjoyed it more if they had though.

(Was the soylent green lake mentioned at any point earlier? Feels like it came out of nowhere, and the whole thing would've been exposed if Dohalim ever got the inclination of actually visiting this "medical facility".)

Well obviously nobody outright says "there's a lake out back where people melt into man goop" but there are a few NPCs around town when you first get there saying stuff like "My friend got sick and went to the medical facility behind the quarry, it sure has been a while since anyone last saw them. Oh well, I'm sure it's fine."
