Did the quest where Justin and Thomas reunite and hug on my alt account today. Honest to god cried a little. YES I've played this game before... but when I did it on my main that cutscene was broken in a way that made it more confusing and laughable than emotional. And like god damn. To whomever animated that fucking hug. Thank you for ruining me I owe you my life. The way Justin, traumatised and forever changed by being abused, manipulated, shunned, and/or cast aside by both of the opposing parties in a fast approaching war, finally returns home and falls into his father's arms, closes his eyes, buries his head in his father's shoulder? Absolutely heartwrenching, and the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

#also the bailing Justin out questline is SO interesting because like #you are ACTIVELY rebelling against the druids #it is IN CANON that all the soul riders go 'this is fucked up we're not doing this.'#and the druids for the first time in game are presented as a malevolent force -#they CHASE AFTER you and Justin as you desperately try to make your way to the ferry #and they use the same sacred magic that you possess and that they have taught you to try to capture you and set traps in your way #with the exception of rhiannon the men that chase after you are faceless. they ride black horses and their faces are hooded and invisible #idk man it really made me think.
