financial incentives are working correctly and it's a benefit to the pharmacy's bottom line if your insurance is paying for the vaccinations.

to instinctively get the cultural/emotional connotations (team that made the game is based in Canada, which was involved in the beach landings, but I imagine it has the same impact to Americans).

goodwill they managed to squander with DA, like it seemed like it'd be harder to make a BAD game given how much hype it had.
Also a cultural musing, thinking back to ME and the fact that your ship was called "Normandy", which I get the historical reference but perhaps am not the right demographic >>

Main downside so far is that the game seems primarily designed for mobile and default keybinds/UI on PC are sometimes absolutely baffling (under what circumstance would you ever use Right Shift when your right hand is on a mouse?) but this can be resolved with customization.

is fully voiced (at least in CN) and sidequests are scripted normally.
MSQ very Traditional Wuxia Opening atm (disciple of reclusive sect (= country bumpkin) goes to town for the first time, hijinks ensue) but they seem to be avoiding uncanny valley character designs so far so will see how it goes.

apparently a big selling point of this "MMO" is that you can play solo and just use NPCs for dungeons, which works great in FFXIV but it depends on encounter/AI design.
Also a selling point (???) is their "AI"-generated NPC interactions which thankfully are only for like random townspeople - MSQ >>

use weird weapons like lanterns and... uh, cats?
Chose a ranged caster class whose weapon is a guqin though you actually shoot phoenix-shaped fireballs rather than bean people over the head with your musical instrument.
Making tanks/healers genderlocked in an MMO is certainly A Choice, though >>

The problem is that when translated literally in EN it gives a bit of a Halloween vibe.

Though sometimes you get a dialogue pile-up if you progress too fast and as the system prioritizes new events over old ones you'll get stuff about defeating a boss in a later stage before the dialogue about an earlier boss.

game, esp. if you've played the first one and have some background. Funny quips aside, eg. Hades promised to be a better parent at the end of the first one and when you meet him here it's obvious that he gets really depressed by circumstances conspiring to turn his daughter into a murderhobo.

Apollo boon that makes it expand, because there's a huge opportunity cost in DPS uptime while you're running around avoiding mechanics; this is also why the Demeter Cast was so good in the first game.
And while mechanically good it's also impressive how good the writing and characters are in this >

"helpful features" because at its core is a dogged insistence that the robots know what you want better than you do, or are attempting to browbeat you into accepting whatever garbage they want to shovel.

These days it has become necessary to put quotes around every search key to prevent it from ignoring part of the search (which makes the whole thing useless) but even that is apparently no longer foolproof so maybe time to switch to a different engine.
And that's like half the reason I hate >>
