So it's ok to cheer on the erosion of rights as long as some of the the victims "deserve" it or the victim is ideologically impure? Does that sound like anybody else from the current political climate? Not actually questions I want answers from you on but ones you should think about.
Disdain for freedom of the press and saying the government should be able to use reporter resources to track down whistle blowers because you don't like who it happened to is extremely myopic.
I get what you're saying. I completely ignored the trading, too, and started skipping some of the side content after turning the difficulty down so I didn't need to exp from the side quests.
Demonschool. I'm really enjoying the tactical combat and seeing how the action plays out after setting everything up. I'm a fan of one of the studio's other games, Into the Breach. Both give you all the info about what's going to happen on the enemies' turn and you get to take the time to figure out what you want to do. In Demonschool you can rewind actions in the current turn as much as you want and retry battles as much as you want. The writing isn't great, but I enjoy the humor and the characters are at least one of my favorite kinds: earnest idiots.
The dungeons do get really long. I turned the puzzle speed down via the accessibility options are they were much more enjoyable, but I stopped at the same place as you for months/years before coming back and finishing it last year. I'm doing the dlc now but basically doing a puzzle or two and then leaving in for a day or two (now that I think about it, it may be a little longer since I lost picked it up...).
The first one was an actual advertising campaign for Dr Pepper, but considering your other one is from Thundercats, I'm guessing I should read the first one in Johnny 5's voice.
