game looks fun but the weird depictions of Aztecs doesn't excite me and I thought it was interesting that the cheaper support packs are for the Indigenous looking people but the highest paid on makes you into a crusader. I have never played these games but it feels like some weird colonial white supremacy undertones
I made an effortpost reflecting on some of those issues. I don't expect POE2 to really improve on the ubermensch themes sadly.
FWIW though, some of the main enemies of the POE1 campaign are thinly veiled Christofascists so as much as the game depicts Aztecs in a very cringe way, it at least throws shade at fascists too.
nice that sums up the vibes I was getting just from this one video. the gameplay does seem enjoyable but my tolerance for that kind of narrative is pretty low these days
