    I was going to say outer worlds as well (outer WILDS is a fantastic game IMO) the game was entirely competent, just unimpressive in every way. Except Pavarti, she is a precocious sugar dumpling and must be protected at all costs.

      Actual conversation had with my wife, who was watching me play near the end:

      “That chick is cute. I bet her romance is adorable!”

      “She’s aromantic and asexual, you can’t romance her.”

      “I bet her quest line is fun”

      “Nope. It’s a really boring fetch quest where you set her up on a date with some bland woman old enough to be her mother. She is also very obviously sexually and romantically attracted to this woman.”

      “…huh.”

      I love Parvati but Drinking Sapphire Wine is a terrible quest.

        I thought The Outer Wilds was violently mediocre, and yeah, its really long uninteresting fetch quest, but:

        • Parvati says she’s not interested in physical affection, but I don’t recall her ever saying she was aromantic. The closest thing I remember is that she feels like she’s better at dealing with machines than people, which definitely doesn’t mean the same thing.

        • I also don’t recall her ever saying anything sexual about Junlei?

        • how old does this woman look to you that you think she could have a 28 year old daughter?
