Back when this first came out, it was hard to get a genuine discussion of the design of this skin with all the controversy behind its pricing. Which is fair enough I guess but it lacked any nuance and honest criticisms when it came to the actual design of a human Mordekaiser. As someone who loves the lore of League and Mordekaiser's story, I think this design perfectly fits him as this barbarian warlord conqueror. People had gripes with the design making him less armored than base but it makes sense for the inspirations and him being a warlord from before Noxus was even created and the fact that they wanna make it obvious that this is a human Morde. His golden armor for his second form is also pretty good. Some people think it should've been a more darker color but I think him being clad in gold just shows the difference in character and motivations for Sahn Uzal and Morde. Sahn Uzal is a self-proclaimed king. So to reflect that by wearing shiny gold armor shows his pride and hubris. So all in all, this is a pretty solid skin and if it weren't for the loan you have to take to buy it, would've been received far better than how it originally did.

I love this game and the vast world it created, but one thing that really bothered me was the lack of an encyclopedia or journal entries. There is a journal, but it only keeps track of questlines. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Esoteric Ebb has an encyclopedia that lists every concept and city or town and faction and ideology in the game. It helps a lot for those that need a little recap or to know who is who and who's in power. This game is deep and there's a lot of concepts and factions that need knowing, Though for someone like me, it can get a little overwhelming. It's really hard to track or understand what it is I'm doing or which government or political agenda each character or place falls into. I still don't know what technofascism even is or where La Luz is from. It may seem like I'm just slow at comprehending these terms, but I never ran into this problem when playing Disco Elysium. I know where Martinaise is. I know where Harry lives. I know what the RCM does. I know about moralism and ultraliberalism and all that. Maybe the game is a bit overwhelming or maybe the game doesn't tell enough about the world despite having all these concepts. I've played for 10 hours or more I think and I still don't know much about the Opera and how they operate. But idk. Could be a skill issue on my part. Maybe I am just slow and not paying attention. Am I the only one?
Survival games were never my cup of tea. Even with games like Subnautica, I just could never get into them. But I'd be lying if I said that a survival game set in this universe didn't intrigue me. What do you hope to see in this game in terms of gameplay, aesthetics, and progression? I'm definitely more interested in seeing the world I grew to love rendered in a different lense than seeing it in a top down perspective and the lore and music that'll come with it.
Idk if this still counts here but the monster from Iron Lung >!was once the crew of the SM-8 who were once human who had been heavily mutated by the blood ocean. !<
