i should have been in bed like 2 hours ago for class in the morning, W H O O P S
instead of a five page essay on why Assault mode sucks, here's some words about Libra of Souls
mitsurugi what the FUCK
what's happened so far (besides getting KICKED AWAKE BY MY TRAVELING COMPANION):
★ I traveled to the Philippines for ???? reasons but I couldn't meet Talim because she's deathly ill from the Evil Seed. :( There are other Wind Priestesses, though; the "last" moniker that Talim has is because she's the only one who uh is channeling the power of the ancestors i guess. the Wind Priestess turning people away told me to come back later because my Automaton character is full of neither good nor evil potential despite the soul scale thing clearly being weighted to evil, so maybe she's not great at the whole priestess thing.
i feel like there is Some Metaphor with the Evil Seed as the harbinger of colonialism and the eventual loss of almost all pre-Magellan culture with it but i'm too lazy to come up with more than "this fictional bad thing precedes a genuine historical tragedy" at the moment.
★ Soul Edge turned a previous traveling companion into a malfested & his brother asked me to kill him so i did. This constituted only the second time a significant choice has been offered. (significant as in, it changes how your scale is weighted) I'm a little annoyed that big colorful flames are next to both choices to really take any guesswork out of which choice is bad and which one is good. On the other hand, I think the conversations prior to the kill him/spare him moment were pretty well done in the sense that it really sold 'kill him' as only reasonable option...too bad the Flames of Clarification undercut that.
★ There is a reoccurring unlucky merchant character who keeps asking for money and I don't give any to him. I'm not sure if this is a thing I will regret later on.
★ Groh is stalking me and i think he challenged me to a fight in the 16th century equivalent of a parking lot. i'm not sure if i have to go or not, i think it's a side quest so maybe i'll just ignore him. he's an assassin but he and his buddies kinda come off like Pokemon game baddies...
