>character says something almost completely different
Pretty sure Mass Effect started this trend and I hate them for it.

I dunno, it's pretty representative of most people's complete inability to say what they intend to.

But banner saga was garbage anyways. Besides what you said i appreciate them trying something different with the strategy/gameplay but i hated it.

Yeah, it was interesting as an experiment. I just don't see how it made it live with such infuriatingly bad choice presentation, combat that gets harder and fucks you more the better you play, and a deprivation trend in the mechanics of the game.
Because of all of these shitty choices, the game runs in reverse. Rather than getting better and stronger over time, you get weaker.
The better you play, the faster you weaken.

I think you nailed it. Neat concept, im not sure if its just bad in practice or executed poorly. I liked the feel of the game, music artstyle ect but actually playing was a no go. Im not even sure i finished it.
