I STILL have way too many games!

Well, 6 years after my last post and I still have too many game that I have yet to finish. This blog is to help me keep track of my progress on them! (Spoilers. Duh.)

Well that was unexpected

Finished chapters 10 and 11 today, and they were rather downers.

Chapter 10 made it clear that the dark haired race was the Jews of this alternative world history, where the mission was to stop a mining operation that was using them as slave labor in a concentration camp. The mission was in two parts, the first being a straight forwards sneaking mission to get into the camp, the second part was to blow up the heavy artillery train that was guarding the place. After winning the battle though it's revealed that the retreating bad guys forced all the workers into a wooden building and burned the place down, just to be evil.

This lead the main story gunner to regret the racist things she said the Welkin's half sister, but she's too suborn and has trouble getting around to express it. Going by the preview images of chapter 11 I got the feeling that the gunner was going to die in the story before she could make amends, but after storming a beach head in the mission she does apologize to her. I was thinking "oh, guess I was wrong about her dying", when suddenly the half sister is shot and killed by a retreating enemy.

Nooooo.....

The weirdest part is after the mission all the menu NPC's say the same cheerful default dialogue, which comes off as rather callous when the protagonist's sister was just killed. I guess they couldn't program speical dialogue just for that one segment, but it really takes you out of the story they built up so well.
