Gotta love the official blurb though.
GOG.com: ELEX II is the sequel to ELEX, the
vintage open-world role-playing experience ...
Wow, wow, wow!
"Vintage"? 2017 is "vintage" these days?
I was born 2080. If something not even 5 years old passes for
that predicate, what am I then? A "walking dad"?
GOG.com: Several years after Jax defeated the Hybrid...
Oh, come on! Enough with the spoilers already. Give some of us time to finish the first game!
GOG.com: a new threat arrives from the sky, unleashing the dangerous powers of dark Elex
Old and busted: Elex.
New hotness: "Dark" Elex.
THQ, you sneaky bastards, I see what you did there!
If you replace "vintage" with "dark vintage", does it become more "Gothic" by chance?
GOG.com: interact with (...) unique NPCs, who will remember what you’ve done and react accordingly
So... you basically want me to play with my mother in law?
GOG.com: will join or leave your group depending on how you behave
Nah! She doesn't leave. She just tells me to behave "or else". And you really don't wanna know what "else" looks like.
GOG.com: are able to be killed, ...
Woah! Hold your horses, THQ. That escalated too quickly.
On the othert hand... you
do have my attention.
GOG.com: Jax has to go on a mission to (...) find his own son, Dex
Waiiit! Jax had Sex and a son named Dex? Seriously, THQ, who is your story writer?
Let me guess, his Mum is called Sax? Aaand she is dead?
Figures! Pfft... mothers. Always getting in the way of a good story--and a new romantic sub-plot, am I right?
Not... that I would ever do.... that, of course. Love, just in case you are reading this... oookay. Moving on!
Final question, THQ. Dax is in his late forties or early fifties by now, right? Spoil the beans, guys: what's his secret? I mean, no gray hair, no reading glasses, ... jumps around like a 6 month old kitten and growls like a tiger on the prowl.
When I got my own son, much younger than Dax must have been, not even 12 months into that rollercoaster ride, my hair turned whiter than Geralt of Rivia and I was so sleep deprived, I started to forget how to spell my own name. Years later I gained 15 pounds, lost 20 points on agility, and don't even remember what sanity feels like. Admit it, THQ! Dax is on some weird crap you won't tell us about.
(PS: Where on Magalan did you find a good kindergarten? I honestly have been all over the place with no luck at all. My DMs are open. Text me? I can keep a secret!)
