I’m playing Edge of Eternity

I’m a little nervous about how the gender dynamics are going to play out on this one. Warrior dude is clearly NOT just a meathead meatshield, and he has understandable reasons for his religious trauma. But each time so far that his sister has talked about religion, it’s been implied that she’s right and whichever man currently disagrees with her is wrong. I’ve had bad experiences with stories where women are the only ones who get to have spiritual/philosophical insight, and men are just supposed to shut up and passively accept it, and I’m hoping this doesn’t go the same way.

(Also REALLY hoping the choice at the end of the unicorn sidequest is an actual choice, and it’s not one of those things where a game is testing you to see if you agree with the dev’s morals and then smacking you if you disagree. I went with what was clearly supposed to be the “evil” option because my own morals said it was the right thing to do.)
