NV >the player has agency and can affect the world >individual interactions empower the player, you can decide anyone's fate absolutely >available factions are a sweet spot of totally unique and similar to real world ideas, all are worth exploring >player's default role is somebody squarely sat at the bottom right of the political compass (independent gun-owning cowboy working the gig economy) >setting is bonkers, no choice feels like a permanent unshakeable thing because plant monsters or robot brains could appear tomorrow >theory proposed by the game is a comte de Maistre-esque insistence that mankind is violent and conflict is inevitable >socialist ideas and gay characters fit neatly into the setting >developers are American
DE >if the player attempts to do anything but rigidly follow the plot it leads to a game over >individual characters exist to read their tumblr blog at you, most of it isnt even useful >available factions are Communism (morally right), centricism (bad) or fascism (retarded) >player's role is a fat hopeless drunk written by Estonians, a group of people who are the worst mix of depressing and ignorant >setting also very obviously written by Estonians since it is the fantasy equivalent of a slavic nation rendered third-world by the collapse of the Soviet Union (communism is still good and we need to bring it back btw) >theory proposed by the game is if you ever care about anything, you are just a loser and compensating, even if you win >socialist ideas and gay characters are so obnoxious one literally follows you around the whole game >developers thanked Karl Marx
