Not tagging this spoiler cause fuck TERFs, don't buy the game, uphold TC69 Thought etc. Have gotten this all from the above article and reviews that support it.
Yep, anti-semitic, slave-owning, Protocols of Zion plagiarising, let's join the anti-goblin pogrom game.
Yes the MacGuffin unambiguously belongs to the Goblins, who have a labour theory of ownership. No you can't join the Goblins. Yes you kill a bunch of them. Yes, there is a fucking quisling that's seen as good actually. Yes, every teacher thinks fighting the goblins is a good thing, despite a few token missions that apparently show how oppressed they are.
No, you never critique that this and every other aspect of the wizard world might be a bad thing.
I am once again calling for the House Elves to rise up, slit every slaver-wizard throat in Hogwarts, and place their heads on pikes outside the entrance as a warning to the others.
Don't. Buy. The TERF. Game.
I think in a vaccum it is ok to go in this direction otherwise you end up like Star Wars where every single game has a reference or direct interaction with Darth Vader, Yoda etc. You want to build a world not just a "world" that is realy just the same timeframe with the same characters over and over.
But I only say this because media into game adaptations are almost destined to suck because of this problem and executives designing by comittee.
"Oh you must have shit main character everyone loves for at least X% of the screen time otherwise marketing says it wont sell with [insert focus group taken from their ass here]."
You can use major original characters as touchstone or include them in cameos.
The final fight in Jedi: Fallen Order just being a run-away from Darth Vader was a good way to wrap it up. Same with the final scene from Rogue One. Having a bunch of the Rogue One story take place on Jedha, the ancestral home of the Jedi, was a great way to include Jedi social influence without having an actual literal Jedi running around.
Having some KOTOR character meet another member of Yoda's species - or even a Baby Yoda - is fine. Having a side quest in the Galactic Senate, where you need to lobby Chancellor Palatine for a favor is cute.
So long as it's tangential to the main plot arc, it gives the story a bit of grounding in the original works such that its not just Generic Space Fantasy.
Just use a light touch.
Yeah, this is one of the many many reasons andor was better than the rest of the star wars slop. Only established characters who weren't glup shittos was mon mothma and saw, who make sense to be in the story.
