Chapter 3 definitely opens things up more and more. Feels like I’ll spend as much time on this chapter as the first two combined.
I do find it funny how the whole goal is to take this multi-month journey to the sword and we had to trek through this awful desert to get there and now we decide we can just quick head back to the start to help out our former colonies, no problem. Is Skip Travel a canon in-world thing or just a game mechanic? I don’t really care because I’m not here for a super consistent game, just thought it was funny.
