Last time, you decided that a level 1 rat is better than Alone In The Dark's jacket inventory. The jacket only just won, and frankly I blame myself for gussying up the rat with fiction. What's better: going undercover, or a really big unreal place? Going undercover This week, I'm asking you to pick between being out of place or being in an amazing place. One of my favourite moments in Deus Ex is infiltrating the VersaLife Coporation offices and secret facility beneath. There you are, deep in the belly of your foe, standing before the intimidating statue where conspirators plotted in the opening cutscene, surrounded by heavily armed guards who. are friendly? For now? Maybe only for now? Oh no.
Even when a game is explicitly designed to have you go undercover, it's against enough video game conventions that it can feel like you're getting away with something unintended.
What a wonderful tension to be somewhere you know your character should not be, delighting in freely poking around and chatting to people while fearing that this can't last.
