rosa_heartlilyAs predicted, the final dungeon and boss fight of ISS took a long time to get through. I even paused the final boss fight for a couple of hours whilst I had my dinner and did some 'beat the intro' with the boys! It was a VERY annoying fight in which I got the boss' health right down to about 25% and then died at which point the health bar zipped back up to 75%, which happened a number of times. Helpfully, though, my missile inventory refilled automatically during the fight, so at least I always had something strong to fire at the boss. After the fight, there was a tiny bit of story - which felt distinctly underwhelming after the boss battle - and then I had the option to complete the clear out of the Bad Organisation. I declined. I'm also probably not going to bother with Infamous: First Light.
I then played about 90 minutes of Deliver Us Mars, which features characters from Deliver Us The Moon. For a game that's only a year old, the character designs are ropey. I don't expect hyper-realism from every game but... I think the models in ISS were better and that game's 10 years old. It's one of the reasons I like stylised/cartoony games. They age well, and they also do a great job of hiding lower budgets. Anyway, it's too early to say what I think of the game itself.
I also did a couple of loads of washing and made some progress with my miniature tea shop. It's really coming along.
Today's progress with Harding's Choice was all in my head, but I think I know which character will be based on someone in RL that I really like. There is a question around how much of the RL person's life story to include... I think it might just be one thing too many to wrangle, especially for a quite minor character. I'm also having ideas about the Smilers. I originally thought of them as stereotypical long-term unemployed men, but it would make them more interesting if some were professionals fallen on hard times for various reasons. It would also increase the mystery around the connection between them.
It was good to have a total indoors day. Tomorrow will require some adventuring!
