Ok, that's MW route done and over with. Felt like a filler arc with both allies and enemies ending up heavily underutilized, the plot weirdly directionless despite being so linear with you just blundering your way to "victory" while characters drop dead and AD collapses in a similarly random fashion. I guess there were some marginally important reveals, but even those felt like they were just shoehorned in and had little bearing on the story that is actually happening. Of particular disappointment was Paradox Alice still not managing to develop into a proper character despite getting this whole inner conflict arc that feels very toothless as at no point does she end up having to actually own up to it and do actual "hard choices". Luka was similarly non-character with the World Breaker turn suddenly happening only at the very end with only a half-assed effort to tie it to a Marcellus parallel.
I guess it was to be expected with how clearly the game is telegraphing that the third route is the one where the actual story will happen (even on this very own route), but the process of getting there should've been able to afford standing on its own legs even so. I guess I'll see if AW fares any better.
