Almost immediately after Vance got the nod, I hit on a description for the way he appeared to me. At the time, it was necessarily based on very little info, so mostly I posted it because I liked the imagery - I admittedly wasn't sure how accurate it really was.
Imagine that life is a roleplaying game, and in every interaction, one chooses from a set of possible responses.
And imagine that each response is labeled, so there's the kind response or the neutral response or the angry response or whatever.
It's as if, in every situation, J.D. Vance chooses the asshole response.
It's actually sort of surprising to me how accurate that has proven to be. .
Vance is an NPC with his assholery level set to very high.
God he's just Nazeem.
"Do you get to the Yale campus very often? Oh, what am I saying? Of course you don't."
“I’m playing an evil character!”
No you’re not, your character is just a dick.
Or it can be like mass effect and you choose the option that just says "no thanks" but you're character is a massive cunt for no reason at all and is like "no fucking thanks you asshole. I'm gonna kill you and wear your face as a mask." And you're just left wondering where the hell that came from lol
One of my problems with Mass Effect, tbh. The breaking point though was when in Mass Effect 2 you're forced to work for fascists
I think it's weirder that Shepard is just welcomed back into the alliance military in ME3 as if you didn't just spend a large chunk of time out gallivanting with a terrorist organization
I didn't get that far, but yeah that is problematic
Also like Fable, he makes a lot of tall promises he has no intention of keeping.
