But Mick Gordon will get other work if they foolishly cut him. If you want a difference in music, look at Rome: Total War and Rome: Total War 2. One of these has Jeff Van Dyk. The other does not.
You can see that littered all over the place, the first two AC Games had the legendary Jesper Kyd do the musical score. He's not been involved since but he scored a track so iconic to the series remixes and variations of
Ezio's Family remain in the series to this day, being the menu music in Odyssey. It will keep happening because people forget how important music can actually be to a game's experience.
This is a small thing but the shit with Jesse (the boyfriend) pisses me off to no end based on what I've read. I know that we're all about TEE HEE CUCKED or MY WIFE'S SON and those jokes are hilarious and all but:
-Guy's girlfriend cheats on him and/or breaks up with him to immediately cheat with someone else
-The baby is going to be raised by someone else instead of him
-He fucking DIES because no one gives a shit
I know we don't know the context of everything but I have a hunch that they feel the callous heartless approach is valid when it comes to heterosexual men. The above events I described can really fuck a person up if they experienced it. Even a grown man would have trouble trusting people for the rest of his life if this happened to him. He wouldn't be cool with it--He'd be a screaming wreck, possibly even a sobbing one. Even burly buff men are sometimes reduced to quivering blobs if their significant other uses or manipulates them in such a way. There's even the risk he would lose it completely and beat the shit out of his rotten ex for making him feel like trash, thereby impacting everyone.
But muh woke lesbians I guess. Fuck that guy that either was just used to make a baby or was blatantly cheated on. He doesn't matter, I guess.
This game shits for the birds.
TBH I'm a bit surprised they didn't make this a proper poly relationship which is another bit of deviancy that makes
sense in a post-apoc world. There's not many people left and with menfolk typically going out be it raiding etc knocking them both up would be a viable, interesting concept to follow. We know mankinds numbers are in the sub 20% of pre fugus population levels, getting banging would be a good way of going about it. They could just be seeing how Dina and the wider community copes without her "in the field" and if things go somewhat well, then Ellie could be next for the baby train.
Heck, you could even push the cult doing similar (but coz god sed it) as creepy. But you can't honestly tell me some sort of cult wouldn't make multi-person marriages a thing either. You honestly only need to look at the early establishment of the Mormon Faith to see that can pan out shockingly well to those involved in getting your early numbers up.
But y'know, that'd be too subtle a nuance for this trainwreck.
Joel could represent 1 of 2 things: Patriachy and; Hennig's influence on the company.
Joel is the ideal representation of a father figure in the ruined world. He was also the most dominant voice by the end of the first game. So obviously this character needs to die as he is the wrong type of hero in modern day political correctness.
The more likely reason, however, is Dreckmann hating Hennig so much that he had to prove that his stuff was superior. You see this with the black female villian dominating the main character of uncharted in every encounter the player has with her in uncharted 4. A game in which Dreckmann threw out Hennig's script and rewrote. (The prior games had Hennig as the head writer I think). I bet the only reason Ellie survives is due to Dreckmann writing her as a lesbian in the DLC.
Henning had zero involvement in LTOU. She was busy on Uncharted 3.
Did you notice what else the building had? Electric lights. Big ones.
They've completely dropped that this is post-apocalyptic.
Seattle is powered like, 90% by hydro, so staffing one of those and getting it running again wouldn't be impossible and you'd have a whole city to scavenge from. Long term, it's a no-no but for the first few generations after any collapse you'd be dining on the bones left behind.
Oh gosh, she's voiced by none other than my favorite voice actress?
.......I am depressed as ****. Seriously Bailey, how could you go from voicing characters like Lucina, Kaine, Risette, Maka, Chun-Li, Tohru and Catherine to................Abby?
Paycheck's a paycheck.
