I never thought anyone could make a game like the old Baldur's Gate games today. Larian has proven me wrong in every possible way.

HEAVY SPOILER ABOUT THE ENDING


Narrative Director: "You know what would be great? Let's have Lara face a mysterious organization called Trinity for the whole trilogy. Let's also have a charismatic cruel villain."
Assistant: "Very old school, sir. Very nice."
Narrative Director: "And then let's close it with the mayan's prophecy of the end of the world."
Assistant: "What about Trinity, sir?"
Narrative Director: "What about them?"
Assistant: "How will Lara defeat them?"
Narrative Director: "She doesn't."
Assistant: "She... doesn't?"
Narrative Director: "Yeah, let's make the villain die for some reason."
Assistant: "B...but, sir, what about the High Council of the organization?"
Narrative Director: "They die, eventually."
Assistant: "H...how?"
Narrative Director: "Oh, I don't know... let's say... they will be there for some reason."
Assistant: "What reason?"
Narrative Director: "Oh, I don't know. Something like personally oversee their victory or some s**t like that."
Assistant: "But, sir, what about their army?"
Narrative Director: "They die."
Assistant: "What?"
Narrative Director: "Yeah, killed by... killed by... the Yaaxil!"
Assistant: "WHAT?! Sir, it's nude people with bows. Trinity uses tanks and helicopters!"
Narrative Director: "I know, right? Such a great plot-twist!"
Assistant: "What about Lara? How will she pass through them?"
Narrative Director: "Oh! Such a stupid question! By walking, maybe?"
Assistant: "Sir, I don't understand..."
Narrative Director: "Don't you see? They're not enemies anymore, they're... they're..."
Assistant: "That's ok, don't worry. You don't really have to explain. I'll... I'll inform the animators about Trinity."
Narrative Director: "Oh, no no. Don't bother."
Assistant: "W...why not?"
Narrative Director: "They die off-screen."
Assistant: "..."
Narrative Director: "Yeah, and let's have the radio say that. Meanwhile... explosions and collapsing floors and choppers flying, and..."
Assistant: "But, sir... what if the player doesn't even get it because there's too much to handle?"
Narrative Director: "Who cares about the player! It's all about Lara. Can't you see? She was obsessed with Trinity and she grow mature out of it. The character development reach is climax and the adventure it's not about Trinity anymore, it's about...uh... hun....huuuun"
Assistant: "Are you fapping on your narrative, sir?"
Narrative Director: "Stop complaining and get to work!"

Not much of a game, more like a movie, but one of the best you'll "play" in years.
And if you've played TLJ and Dreamfall, it's a whole tsunami of feelings coming at you.

Tirato una testata ad un pallone a due metri dalla porta. Il pallone è andato in orbita. Achievement "Like Baggio".
