One strong theme of the game is the abuse of power the elites of society have over the common man and the exploitation of other planets and the bodies of the aliens who resides on those planets. The first planet has you witnessing a strike for the sake of the Zil if you capture them for Dr. Julian. The game even references real abuses by corporate interests by having a Nestle reference in Snuggle. When you turn in RK Lah to Darnock he references Heart of Darkness. a book based off real life abuse and exploitation in the congo that went into making products for the rest of the world! This all culminates in Dhaal where the entire planet is being run by several corporations doing morally reprehensible shit behind the scenes while controlling the fate of the poor folk who have little to no say so to how the planet is run. There is no option to refuse to side or give power to any side of the conflict. Your character just moves on while the Dhaal continues to suffer and the cooperate capitalist machine keeps turning!
I hope there will be an option to dismantle this system or at least do something to inhibit the exploitation you see! It's nice that you can side with Rk Lah but I hope there's an option to do that again in the future!
