Love this game! Just played it about a zillion times because I've got all the achievements but the stone tablets one. Thank goodness someone here mentioned the RNG and that I can just keep redoing the article 6 kiln thing until I get them all, because I was getting a little tired haha. Speedrunner was fricking hilarious ("I guess I am your little pogchamp, Sanic"), and the deep fried memes are hysterical. Nikos shot up to being my favorite character and Best Boy after all the Ruthless endings. But Storm x P is absolutely my ship. Every time I did Hinterlands 3 I always stopped skipping and rewatched the hot springs scene >.> Kudos on all of Hinterlands actually, especially P's depressed-ass inner thoughts that made him super relatable to me. Oscar for second best boy. Not that Asterion and the romance isn't great or anything, all of it is good. But my favorite scene in the game is the drinking game with Arts and everybody present. Luke is the best/worst and I appreciate him so much.
Very happy to hear your thoughts!
I'm glad the response to Oscar and Pedro's content has been so positive, we were kind of concerned that people would react negatively to most of the characters not being romantic interests for the player and lose interest in them, but fortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.
Pairing up characters with set personalities and stronger characterization than the MC lets us do more interesting things with their romance, so I hope you guys look forward to more of that!
