Give me a reason to continue

I'm playing on XBOX life right now. I got to the point where your save Mielle and I'm starting to get the vibe that this game is just 'surreal'. They're going to be pulling things out of their rear aren't they? Is there really a good payoff here or is this going to be pretentious nonsense?

So what is the actual problem with the game?

[Arion]

Clearly the fantasy genre isn't for you then...

There is a reason for that and it will be revealed over time.

Everything is well forshadowed in advance. There's no magical bunny out of hat plot nonsense. It might seem like that but that's because you missed out on the pretty obvious clues when you think about it in retrospect.

I say this in basically all of these types of posts: no one has to justify why YOU should keep playing. Do or don't - just choose for yourself. And nobody needs to hear your choice. Thanks.

So why do you even play games in the first place. Especially a fantasy RPG. Nobody cares if you continue or not.

Only just entered act 3, and I can say that I understood a lot of clues but never their true meaning. Like, you KNOW something is going on in the background, but what, exactly?

I appreciate it. At this point it seems like we're in a painting after visiting the mansion. Its had me worried this is going to be a nihilistic story with 'anything goes' logic. I'm usually good at sussing these types of stories out and was wondering if there was a big payoff or it just meandered its way to an ending.

It’s a great game. Gonna probably be nominated for Game of the Year, and you already bought it.

"that this game is just 'surreal'."

Contrary to all the extremely realistic other computer games on the market? Why not just enjoy the story, the ride, the beautiful maps and music, and let yourself be surprised?

[Soulgain]

Nah, just stop playing.

I might as well download a FPS game go into their community forum ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and moaning about using a gun to shoot and kill people the whole time.

I admit I'm surprised and a bit amused at all the snarky comments on here. I was looking for some inspiration to continue but it seems people took my intentions another way.

you the type of person to read the first sentence in a book and put it down.

"it was the best of times, it was the worst of times" nah next book.
