There's a difference between allowing choice, but limiting some options, and spoon feeding you what the writers want so you end up wanting it too. Yes, I bring that up that character's personality limits potential of choices to an extent but again I say: Telltale makes it the point that player choice matters. It was the writers saying you have freedom of choice but then grabbing your hand and leading you and shoving you into Sasha w… 3 killed my liking of it because it kept forcing the two characters not just together when it wasn't necessary for the story but in scenarios that were desperately trying to have a romantic atmosphere. 1 and 2, I liked her character and her interactions with Rhys. And yes, the character's personality will limit certain choices, like in romance alone if a character is a lesbian there should be no choice to romance a man.īut I initially was open to the Rhysha ship. So if you're going to add romance to that set up, you have to have it that the character is at least given the options. But this is a video game that advertises player choice mattering. Here's my take: if Tales was a novel or a book, I'd have not as much a problem with Sasha being forced on Rhys and wouldn't even consider it … more being forced. It's a side plot, and people that don't invest in talking about it on the forums probably couldn't care less if they ended up with Sasha or Fiona. Most casual players just cared more about the humor and story than the romance anyways. If people didn't feel any chemistry between Rhys and Fiona until that point, there is no need for them to consider alternatives because they don't have a reason to. Yes you can treat her awfully and sour that relationship, but Telltale clearly wanted the player to know he is at least physically attracted to her and can potentially romance her to make the big feel-good moment when Sasha comes back to life matter more to both player characters, not just Fiona.Īlso I think it's unfair to call everyone who shipped it after episode 3 basically sheep. Telltale meant for Rhys to be attracted to Sasha instead of anyone else, similar to how a lesbian character would only be attracted to a woman, it's a pre-determined preference.
Well like I said earlier, we can influence how characters behave but we can't dictate who they are. To have done it right, the writers could've tipped the balance in favor of romancing Sasha but give a lot more options that would cause no romance to happen or Rhyiona to happen or another romance to happen. And if I wanted to be really cynical I could claim that some who became Rhysha shippers only did because of the bandwagon effect of shoving it in your face while not acknowledging other romantic alternatives. And I feel many Rhysha shippers ignore that, or don't care, purely because this didn't interfere with how they wanted to play the character. But when you pretend that I can steer how 2 characters handle a situation but really can't, that pisses me off. Well then be honest and say that this ride is on tracks and won't go off of them. It was the writers saying you have freedom of choice but then grabbing your hand and leading you and shoving you into Sasha while singing "Can you feel the love tonight".
Here's my take: if Tales was a novel or a book, I'd have not as much a problem with Sasha being forced on Rhys and wouldn't even consider it being forced.
