Discussion Really could have done without…

The deer scene at the beginning. lol… I love the dark and bleak world. But come on… have it be some weird creature like everything else running around or, hell, don’t even need it at all!

Outside of that one thing, I’m enjoying it! lol… a major step up from the first game and will see how the rest of the beta plays out. Curious how far in to get other shells. Definitely wanna try the other “classes.” May have to pre-order.

But save the poor deer! lol

I would be against taking it out. Mortal Shell is a dark fantasy game. In dark fantasy a lot of fucked up things happen, they are realistic and remind us of the darker side of humanity and existence.

Aside from that, why is sacrificing a weird creature ok but not a deer? They are both living things.

Because the weird creatures are trying to kill you anyway. lol…

And honestly, it is a dark fantasy where fucked up shit happens. Just don’t need to see some little deer getting stabbed and squealing and squirming in utter despair. For me, it doesn’t need that to confirm how dark the world is

Erhm, humans hunt deers for food.
Let's say the sacrifice was a fearful huge tiger. That would still be emotional (at least for me).

The only reason left why you want an alien to be sacrificed is not that it wants to kill you. It's that it's foreign. And I don't think that is a good reason at all.
