I like how the choices in Pentiment are black and white, good or evil. Like real life good intentions can lead to bad outcomes. In Pentiment. I thought I was nurturing Ursula’s active imagination when encouraging her enthusiasm for Pagan stories. But it turned out that I nurtured her into growing up to speak heresy and get burned at the stake. And that was a gut punch right at the end of the game to see that I’d caused that.
Nice video. I know New Vegas interaction chains can be broken by simply putting a quest on the back burner until you can ace the check, but I play games like New Vegas by forcing myself to play out scenarios ‘like it or not.’ In other words, I don’t let myself avoid consequence. Obviously this is a bit flawed design wise because the game doesn’t force you to take your choice on the chin. I had to discipline myself to just take what the game should be trying to serve me.
