So I'm really enjoying this game, *much* better than the first one which felt fairly by-the-numbers most of the time; can't say enough how much it's improved in my opinion.
The only aspect of the writing that's let me down so far -- and this is a funny nitpick, sure -- is that the game seems to assume my character is strictly monogamous?
Case in point -- when Tekehu joined me and starting flirting with me immediately, my first thought was "OK, sure, it's in character for him, he seems pretty sure of himself, plus I really enjoyed the Shape of Water, who wouldn't want to fool around with the sexy fish man?"
I thought this was all well and good, but a couple hours of game time later, Maia Rua said something to the effect that she'd be interested in me if I wasn't already good and occupied with Tekehu, and I was aghast that there wasn't a dialogue option along the lines of "who in their right minds wouldn't want to fool around with the sexy fish man? I wasn't planning on marrying him or anything. I'm not saying I'm only sleeping with him because he's a sexy fish man -- I may be bisexual, but I'm not racist."
Anyway, something to consider.
