230ish hours into the game - I only play Unfair and I'm mainly into the mechanics and minmaxing stuff, so my criticisms are chiefly regarding game mechanics and balancing and whatnot. Kinda loving the game so far but lots of changes that I'd REALLY WANT TO SEE. Owlcat, if you're reading this, please:

1. PLEASE LET US RESPECC COMPANIONS FROM LEVEL 1. You can lock their first Archetype, fine - but please just let us choose their skills and talents. Some of the later companions' builds aren't too bad - Yrilet is fine, I guess. but Jae's build is an affront to the Emperor and the Empyrean altogether. It's as if you guys specifically chose the worst imaginable combination of abilities and talents for her Officer progression. She's worthless until Exemplar where I can start to fix her by giving her the Officer skills and talents to optimise her.

2. Without getting into spoilers, the start of Chapter 3 puts you in a situation where you and you companions are kidnapped and temporarily have your gears removed. You can't equip anything from your inventory and need to make do with trash loot laden about the map. This is just poor game design. Please change this. I was caught off-guard since there was no warning about the sudden kidnapping and seizure of gear. I usually play a one-turn-kill squad where I try to win every encounter after the Prologue without letting a single enemy get a single turn (yes, even the notorious final boss of Chapter 1). I've restarted many runs and I've gotten pretty good at this. This silly surprise was seriously annoying and I had to reload my save to before the kidnapping just to "adapt". The encounters I had to deal with before getting my gear back was incredibly annoying, Encounters like Forgefiend and Chaos Space Marine are fun and challenging. Having all your gear seized for multiple 20 minutes slogfest fights against trash mob isn't.

I'd recommend the game should Owlcat choose to fix these annoyances.

it's 00:19, i'm on two bottles of coke, a mug of coffee, and double my daily dose of ritalin.

i've never coded before and i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate javascript, but im so proud of the scripts i wrote on my own, even if they're laughably simple

An overall beautiful artistic direction and intimate narrative makes this game a short but memorable experience.

Try to (and fail miserably at) helping a lactose-intolerant girl go out to buy some milk. Be the voice in her head that comforts and confuses her. Help her remember the things she forgot and forget the things she remembered. Help her navigate the cosmic platform that is society in her endeavour to reform the world with mac-and-cheese. Don't let the cold grass turn lukewarm by keeping the kitchen door open. The spiders are out to get you but they're allergic to psychoanalysis. Fend them off before they make the walls close in on you.

Can't a girl just get herself some milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk inside a bag of milk?

Wholesome story with pretty good writing. The voiced names are pretty sweet too.

I just want to give Jill a big warm hug, but I think she'll make fun of me for the detachable meat rod between my legs :(

Props to the developers for making this free and props to the VA for recording 500 names. Even if your preferred one isn't on the list, I'm sure you'd find one you'd be at least content with as an alternative. Really adds a nice personal touch for immersion.

Let's say, hypothetically, that this game is gay. Let's say, it's super gay, even. OK. Now that we've established this, let's also say, for the sake of argument, that you like this game. Would it then be reasonable to assume that you were gay?
