Less of an underbite more of "open mouth. No thoughts, head empty"

I wonder how often they had to repeat the scene because Rowan starts laughing.

[@daviddavies3637]

That last one really understood me. 😂 "This is bullshit. This is ACTUAL bullshit." Been there so many times where the devs have really FUCKED ME OVER by scripting a response that was NOTHING like the response I chose, or at least the response I expected to be scripted.

Don't be deceived. She's using her charisma points in those screams. 😂

7:00 This bit reminds me of "Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura" where you can use magic, technology, or typical swords to fight. The level of effect various character traits have really plays out, as having a low intelligence will result in hilarious simple-minded dialogue choices. It's not impossible to win like this (in fact you can play pretty much any way you like and still win) but it can definitely change the progression. Incredible game for being an old-school 2D adventure.

Contrary to popular opinion, charisma is not about looks or charm, its actually about your influence on those around you.
