Some Thoughts/Kinda long post (Spoilers Ahead)

.The color scheme was 10/10. I love how they decided to make it vibrant unlike the usual bleek, eerie, post-apocalyptic setting. Realistic? Idk but it's far cry and I LOVED this twist on the genre. Also the art style of the graffiti in the outposts reminded me of Jinx from Arcane!

.I can imagine Jacob and Faith loving New Eden (especially Jacob cause he's all about nature and practicality. Faith would be alright as long as she has bliss and her angels). But John? I'm having a hard time picturing him there given how expensive his taste is lol. Like in FC5 his clothes, ranch, plane, etc all point to a more lavish lifestyle than the rest of the cult.

. It was awesome seeing some of the original charcters like Nick and Grace come back. Grace was my go-to GFH in 5!

. I loved Thomas Rush and his death shattered me lol. Genuinely a cool guy with a good heart and a badass neck tattoo~

. The highwaymen soundtrack was hype af and I honestly found myself listening to their station more than the survivor radio. Even as someone who doesn't listen to rap all that much I really liked it :)

. Mickey and Lou had a lot of potential as villains, but in my personal opinion the writing/dialogue let them down. The twins and their highwaymen were a great concept, and the voice actresses were lovely also. However, I wish the game would have given them more backstory and motivations than just their dad telling them it was ok to do whatever the they wanted and them being upset when things didn't go their way. I ultimately spared Mickey

.Some super fun mission design like the prison break and arena derby

. It was obvious Ethan was volatile from the start but that's exactly what made that storyline so engaging. Seeing another more emotional side of Joseph was fascinating as well. It was new as he's usually quiet and calculating but given all that happened it was actually quite fitting. I left him to reflect not so peacefully on all the shit he had done after he finally realized it

Shirtless version cause why not 🔥

3. How did your OC feel the first time they left home? Why did they leave?

11. What was your OC scared of as a child? Are they still scared of that? for your captain ezekiel? if you haven't answered these already :)

Oh hey, I get to talk more about Ezekiel! Thanks for the ask, @la-grosse-patate!

3. How did your OC feel the first time they left home? Why did they leave?

Probably a bit of relief, and a bit of sorrow, and a bit of determination. Ezekiel's home home on the Archipiélagos were the Minas (translation: Mines) in which he and the Tumultite Community lived in. Now the Tumultite Massacre, led by the enforcers of the Congregation of Adam's Guard, left the Minas uninhabitable. The core reason why Ezekiel leaves the Archipiélagos is because, well, it's not a great place. He was a prisoner from a failed revolt, and probably would have been executed if the events of Call To Arms (a CODMW WIP, aka Nadi's origin story) around 2015 didn't occur. Around that time, a bunch of crazy stuff was happening outside the Archipiélagos (close call with WW3) which distracted most of the enforcers away from the prison camp Ezekiel was entrapped in, and luckily for him, a sympathiser to the prisoners, an enforcer by the name of Tyrone Gravel, gave Ezekiel the means to escape the camp and man one of the confiscated boats in the docks to leave the Archipiélagos, with a new mission to find either more Tumultite survivors or the Omar sisters (Silva & Elsa).

11. What was your OC scared of as a child? Are they still scared of that?

A main fear for Ezekiel I think would be losing everyone close to him, and being unable to do anything about it. Especially while Enforcers occasionally entered the Minas to antagonize the Tumultite Community stuck there. And unfortunately, in his late teens, Ezekiel did see that fear come true. The Tumultite Massacre led to several deaths, including his foster father Alvarich, and he could only hope that his distraction led to the safety of Silva, Elsa and the former's infant daughter, Persephone. Even worse when in Old Dusk (FCND WIP) he reunites with Silva and she has to be the one to tell him that Elsa (whom Ezekiel had a lot of romantic tension with) and Persephone unfortunately passed long before the Collapse happened.
