Around 13 minutes in really resonates with me.
I yearn to go back to the 80s, even though I never lived through them. To the last great decade of America, back when that dream was still possible.
The modern day feels like a Visigoth walking through the streets of a recently conquered Rome, marveling at the ornate structures and the incredible feats of engineering, unable to comprehend how they were made.
Nowadays, every new day feels like one new step in the decline of an empire, where the stewards of the civilization are too busy speedrunning the seven sins to notice that the commoners are starving, their borders are porous, and the barbarians are coming.
The 80's felt like a rebuild after a bad bit. The constant political insanity was given a rest for a bit and suddenly Eastern Germany and the USSR fell.
Listen to the end. Trust me.
no
Caesars Legion is the best ending.
That game is nearly perfect but the only thing that irks me is the sublte implication that the Legion has a case of the gays. Reeks of Howard Zinn pop history.
I've heard if you take whatever the perk is that makes you gay they'll reveal it as a dialog option. But my favorite part of the game is that no one is an essential character. Even the gay/lesbian companions can be gotten rid of.
I've that of doing a "Gaydar seeking missile" playthrough. Just blowing up any person with that dialog trigger.
