The Low Chaos ending goes on about a "golden age" and and how wonderful and enlightened Emily is while the high chaos ending harps about "mountains of corpses", so people can be forgiven for thinking it's a morality system when it comes off as something out of Fable.

Well you weren't a Big Daddy like in the first one, you were an Alpha Series. You are basically wearing a leather jumpsuit and an old diving helmet. Definitely not something that should be super fast, but nowhere near the hulking, armored monstrosity that the BS1 Big Daddies are. You actually fight a few in one of the levels and they go down pretty easy. I think one of the audio logs mentions how they decided to upgrafe the armor to iron, seeing as how the Alpha series went down fairly easily.

I expected a nice little "quest failed" thing to pop up like it does in the Fallout games. Instead Boethia possesses the corpse of one of the cultists, chastises me for killing all of her followers, and proceeds to give me the quest to bring her a human sacrifice anyway.

Enemies in Dargon Age Inquisition become extremely hard to hit with melee weapons if they're lieing on the ground or floating two feet in the air (those awful demon ice mages!). You can hit them, it just seems like the game has a hard time realizing you're trying to attack that enemy rather than swinging your daggers through mid air.

This only happens with the male gay characters too, they never have the female ones do this weird poo poo. Who wants to watch an awkward sex scene after the one guy cries about his dead husband in mass effect 3?

Maybe this changes at some point but I have no idea why I have all these options when they all functionally do the same thing which is "call the alien who just kills everything."

That's why I said you can't do it after the fact. A large group of people likely don't even know charm tables exist, and a larger group probably didn't find out until they'd sunk a lot of time into the game.

So Far Cry 4 is a very great game to be sure, and inarguably better than Far Cry 3 in its more nuanced storytelling and mostly improved gameplay, but it ends its story about 1-3 chapters too soon.

To be specific, the final three campaign missions of the game should have been you seizing control of The Golden Path by taking out the obviously corrupt leader still alive, and becoming capital K King of Kyrat. That they left that plot thread dangling seemed like such a drat shame. I will say they handled Pagan Min very well, especially in the ending though. A much more satisfying ending than 3, and many other games.

Arkham Asylum sorta kinda missed the point of that part of her character. I don't really remember her part in Arkham City but I think they fixed it a little? Maybe?

I'm really not sure how people come away from Hotline Miami, a game about being a literally insane murderer on a chaotic killing spree, and say "this dumb game is too chaotic and unpredictable!" Sometimes you just get hosed by the RNG, which is why the game lets you reload immediately with no penalty or load time.

The game isn't about figuring out the one correct route, it's about zoning out and reacting moment to moment and just going for it. It's not Hitman.

Were you mean to Krem, Iron Bull's first officer or whatever? There's one chat option you can click, where you basicslly disparage Krem for being transgendered, and it will absolutely wreck your approval and ability to do personal quests for your teammates.

I can't really talk poo poo because when game morality gets too close to reality, where being moral really IS disincentivized bigtime, it can be legit stressful. Like Papers Please or that conquistador game, where if you try to do the right thing the game is absolutely willing to go "OK cool, you lose then"
