[QUOTE="Starstruck, post: 347809, member: 4227"] Mhm, like I said TiTs never gets complaints about Power Fantasy because it[I]'s [/I]always [I]been[/I] a Power Fantasy and that's a big part of what people play it for. What it [I]does[/I] get are ample complaints when certain characters whiplash Steele [I]out[/I] of that trope because [I]their[/I] narrative [I]demands[/I] it. Like Akane's Host Shukuchi Agents ambushing and capturing Steele without initiating combat and then her subjecting the player character to a bruising interrogation that they can't get out of without humbling themselves for her. Or, more egregiously. Dr. Badger cornering Steele in, once again, a position that you're not allowed tp fight your way out of, you gotta either swallow your pride or get turned into a badger bimbo, there is no alternative that lets you walk out of there with your dignity. CoC2 Has dodged this bullet to date, but even if similar scenarios were to play out it'd get away with it because it's not a Power Fantasy, the biggest evidence of course are the companions. Most, indeed probably all of the encounters from the Old Forest to the Glacial Rift are all but impossible for the Champion alone to win, whereas Steele almost always adventures alone because [I]The, Captain, Steele, [/I]is just that badass.
