Expedition 33
Why did they even bother including the Maelle ending when the Verso ending is the objectively superior option and the game is clearly biased towards it?

To make people feel bad for playing the entire game and still falling victim to the same trap that Maelle and Alene did.

To weed out the delusional retards, and it worked. Now we point and laugh at those who chose Maelle's ending.

That's what I would say if I was a fucking retard.
Now it's been 2 months and devs have pointed out multiple times that Maelle's ending might very well be the best one.
There are multiple hints in the game itself but I ain't gonna spoonfeed you.

Choice is good.

Also Maelle's ending is much more kino, so i'm glad it exists.

Because Verso and his lying, backstabbing, "Oh Woe Is Me I have to live my dream, when I would much rather have committed mass murder-suicide," shtick makes me angry past the point of all reason.

I think people would pick the Maelle ending if they remember the original plot because its the one that, at first glance, keeps lumiere alive. Then they get hit with the Maelle jumpscare and realize it was a mistake.

"You can be Maelle anywhere" - Verso.

She killed her mother's son.

She's 32 years old, she can get over it.

Don't forget she literally HATED Lumiere for all of her 16 years of life. She hated them so much she chose to go on a suicide mission over spending 1 more year with them.

And it's fucking awesome. Countless people suffered and died for the expeditions for the smallest hope that they might give Lumiere and the ones they loved a chance of a real future free of the gommage. Maelle took everyone that fell on the way with her and gave them the chance to carry out their last mission.

That's why I said at least Renoir still loves her
I've have a hard time reading Clea, I just think she's a mostly blunt bitch rather than straight up hating Alicia
I do think she cares about her but her form of grief is more geared towards revenge rather than drowning in sorrrow like Aline
Sure she tells Alicia not to expect her to make the same choice that Verso did but that can be dismissed as her being blunt rather than malicious given how she both loves and hates verso for saving her

The game is French. Any kind of sexuality goes. Proxy-incest included.

Alicia probably wants to fuck Verso because she is way more attached to him than a sibling reasonably should be, and incest is a classic gothic trope (and the game draws heavily from gothic influences).

never liked how neither lune or sciel admonish renoir for trying to destroy their world and for killing them
renoir clearly doesn't look down on the painted beings becuase he knows that they're alive to some extent, hell he's extremely remorseful and humble towards painted verso

That scene gives the most weight to them being real at least to some extent. Most people wouldn't apologize to a video game character with genuine regret. He also doesn't cut off or shut down Lune/Sciel when they speak up. I'd have included at least one line "what about us" from Sciel/Lune but I was happy with what we got. Sciel knows if in that position she'd do the exact same thing and Lune has plans to understand more of the painted world and outside world after they stop the immediate threat.

This is psychotic btw
I did the Maelle ending and don't regret it but Maelle just painting even more thousands of people inside another world that three layers deep just so that Lune can satisfy her intellectual curiosity of what the outside world looks like is insanity.

The writers could very well have had perfectly good reasons to want to exterminate the painters. These posh fucks have no oversight on the endless ethical quandaries they create.
