ALRIGHT TIME TO TALK TURKEY
so obviously i’ve been in the comments since chapter 10 released and been talking about things, but i haven’t actually jot down my thoughts about chapter 10 because…i only finished it the day before yesterday
In my defense that was because i felt the need to replay the entire game to refresh myself on feels and characters (it reminded me how much i love some and despite others, looking at you charlie boy) But finally I have finished re-reading and doing the new chapter
I even gave Charlie the benefit of the doubt and grabbed his ending
AND LETS JUST TALK ABOUT CHARLIE FOR A SEC
My dislike for charlie is no secret, i kinda think he’s a whiney brat who, while trapped in a different way than lenore, is still kinda just…not sympathetic. He knows the vamps are specifically targetting his girlfriends and yet keeps getting them, and then feels justified whining about it? Sorry no, it don’t work like that.
But he had an ending and I can’t call myself a fan of this game if I didn’t get it.
Somehow somehow you actually made me feel attatchment and sympathy for him. As the difference between the minigame visit and the ally visit is huge, and the way charlie just seems so damn genuinely concerned about poor malnourished lenore got me.
And any man who buys me a truckers buffet can’t be all bad in my books! not sure how i feel about becoming a hunter tho, charles, pls, can we not?
Now back to the ‘non endings’ sort of, aka the ‘pro vampire’ endings where i told charlie to go screw himself.
As is common knowledge, match made in heaven/stockholm forever holds a special place in my heart because damn if a secret part of me don’t long for my favorite psycho vampire. I also found it adorable that even if i don’t make a deal to kill charlie in earlier chapters I can still BASICALLY get what I would have otherwise.
Does that come with shopping excursions tho rich, cuz ur gonna have to do better than burger king
Also I accidentally gave richard an empathy lesson when I was messing around and ran out the door with silver on me whoops!
Also last thing is either, a choice not being worded right, or just a path not being set up but gonna put it in spoilers to be safe!
when lenore is grinding the watch/bracelet into powder, there’s an option to dispose of the evidence. I assumed this meant, flush the silver down the toilet and forget I ever messed with it, so being a pro vamp nerd, I chose it. But come the fateful evening, I still had it[/spoiler] So yeah, not sure if it was just a misunderstanding on my part, or if there’s just not a route yet for [spoiler]completely submitting to stockholm and not fighting mah boi
Anyways, great game, and i’m pumped for the finale and seeing how the remaining threads (like reconciling with paul who had the sense to buy me POPTARTS) tie up! <3
