Ships are the undisputed best literary vehicles.
I have to say, though, it’s a much punchier start than a majority of the original Bioware and Black Isle infinity engine games where you’re essentially “angsty teen from.a backwater who hates his town, also happens to be some kind of chosen one who has assassins after him for unknown reasons.”
Plus the whole tadpole in the brain thing actually feels closer to how a huge portion of Shadowrun campaigns begin. Brain bomb, brain slug; same thing basically.
Is a giant tentacle monster really a ship?
In DOS2, there was both a ship and a tentacle monster, so I’ll go with yes
Well in Divinity Original Sin there is a ship on fire on the first town too.
Haha I guess every studio needs to have their calling card, Larian’s is wrecking ships as plot motivation
Ha! Didn’t even realize that. How funny
