A double length episode today, and then some. It wasn't SUPPOSED to be, but since I'm not going to be able to stream tomorrow anyway, hey, I got the content out. But this wasn't supposed to be nearly five hours long. It was supposed to be the end. And, well, the game ended. We got our conclusion, we found our answer, we have our next destination.

And then the game has a two freaking hour epilogue that ruins absolutely everything. And it broke me. Oh there's a patented Nametag Rant in here around the three and a half hour mark. And that epilogue completely sours me on the game. It shouldn't exist. If it had to exist, it should have been a separate chapter. It didn't endear me, it pissed. Me. Off. And then, we go from a story that was all about hyper realism to.... magical swords and prophecies.
