^This was my biggest disappointment. When Martok was giving the briefing, I was like “Oh this is so cool, they might give us choices. Or maybe they’ll give us a list of options, and one of them is the correct one that we’ll have to reach via logical deduction or something.”
Nah fam. Main Protagonist has a mind of their own. Ultimately, it’s the decision that I would’ve gone with anyway, but I wish I was the one making it.
The rest of it is pretty much exactly what I expected, so I’m not for or against it. It hit my expectations of Cryptic exactly, so it was more or less an average experience.
So yeah. Worth a playthrough, I’d say. Given my expectations on how politics seems to work be written in the Trek universe, it was resolved exactly as I suspected it would.
Although this did come to mind when we were fighting that admiral Klingon and someone went to ramming speed:
I’d also say that things are certainly complicated by the fact that the Klingons don’t really place much weight on war crimes being a heinous thing, especially when they’re against percieved enemies.
So there is a moment in the Jupiter Station mission, when you’re defending Leeta in that server room, and the Terrans are charging down that one hallway to the single open door. And I just don’t think they were prepared for a plasma flamethrower turret backed up by a Romulan kill team. All I did was walk around poking consoles and listening to the FWOOSH.
And I need that Terran Inquisitor uniform. Neat to see that in game, after playing an Inquisitor in the MU events.
I’m still geeking out that a namesake of the USS Akron makes an appearance in this new mission. (The real one was a flying aircraft carrier in the 1930s in the US Navy.)
I’m still waiting for them to reveal that the helmsman on the Enterprise D whose head explodes in the Nagilium episode (Think it was that one?) is the emperor in the MU. Because they just need to connect to an easter egg that badly.
