My what a boring episode...
I'll play it again for the illustrations, but this first time has already been an endless pit of agony...
spoilers... duh
You can basically skip the first part, where you travel with Lance.
It's a strange mix of villain cliché, abuse and shameless attempts at glorifying Stocholm syndrome. You do get a couple of chances to get back at him, but that's as fun as it gets...
Most of the episode revolves around searching for answers to his questions. Stupid questions to begin with, if you ask me.
Anyway, even when he gets some he deliberately decides to ignore them and do wathever he was already doing. Way to go, knucklehead!
I spent most of the time insulting him, and made my protagonist try to maim him and kill him at every given opportunity.
Dindn't get any illustrations, of course.
There are 2 new locations (very beautiful but they serve no purpose for now) and a new character(who also serves no purpose, tbh).
I like her design, but nothing of what she said makes any sense to me and quite frankly I find her pretty annoying.
You get an intersting piece of information about your own race, tho. Some things are not what they seem to be.
The last part is about how your boyfried survived the sea creatures' attack: yes, of course he survived, he's a main character, what did you expect?
The explanation is vague and blurry, I might be slightly retarded but I didn't get it. They talk about miracles a lot in this chapter, I call them plot holes/deus ex machina shenenigans.
Might be explained better in the future, we'll see...
The ending is strange and makes little sense, anyway you get both illustrations there so I guess you can't change anything as usual, just go with the flow.
And then you die. Again. For some reason.
All in all this episode was more boring than bad, honestly.
Guess I could spend the entire evening talking about the blurry plot, the offensive clichés, how stupid Ashkore is and how miserably they failed at making him a sympathetic villain, but no, I won't.
Actually there a few things I liked, for example seeing Chrome at HQ, faking it as usual and Miiko's character finally developing into something that can be called a character.
Also, the Oracle died and this time for real.
The consequeces are still unknown, but this puts our protagonist in a new position.
Having no one to save anymore, does that mean that she will become a new oracle? She was already regarded as a beacon of hope, but this is different. Will she have to fill the position somehow, or will it be the beninnig of something different?
This kind of suff I liked, I really couldn't care less about Lance's mommy issues... oops!!
