The fact that they didn't address the lack of Belter creole at all has me upset, it one of the defining features of The Expanse universe, I really hope that's one of the things they're working on behind the scenes that they want to 'show rather than tell'

I also didn't like that they referred to the Marvel-esque dialogue as a 'deliberate creative direction' because while The Expanse does have its lighthearted moments, it is not nearly as quippy as TEOR's beta portrayed it as

Otherwise, the changes listed are exactly what I wanted to see them improve, overall, I am cautiously optimistic.

Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is an upcoming isometric, text-heavy RPG developed and published by ZA/UM, releasing May 21st

I know the expanse and exodus are at least a year away from a release, but they have shown off a lot of the gameplay and I am gonna be honest, I am not impressed, the dialogue in Exodus has some weird cuts and the writing isn’t very good (from what I have seen)

same with Expanse Osiris I hate the quippy marvel dialogue and the way they just ’over explain‘ or over analyze things before it comes to you naturally (also no belter creole? That is a stable of the franchise)

Dawnwalker has much better dialogue in my opinion, the gameplay looks a little wonky but that’s doable

but something that worries me is that you can just go an kill any one you like and take them out, I feel like that’s going to severely impact the pacing of the game and water down story beats

I really hope all of these games fix their problems and succeed because I dont want this genre of games to be coasting off of 20 year old franchises like Witcher, Baldurs Gate, Dragon Age, Wasteland, Fallout, Elder Scrolls etc. forever, we need some new blood like KCD and Cyberpunk
