Finished "What Lies Within", putting my opinion and comments about it under read more

While it wasn't a mindblowing episode or anything, I actually really liked it! It was a nicer-than-anticipated ending to the traumatic stuff, can't believe the commander actually got therapy(!!!) and the plan didn't backfire (as far as we know, that is). Also I live for dialogues and interactions like these, and I absolutely loved how the voice acting got rough on the feels at times (gonna redo it on another character tomorrow to pick the other options). More of this please! And I'm really curious about what the 4th expansion will be like, especially if this epilogue of sorts had anything that could count as introduction to it (that laugh is very interesting).

Still gotta try the updated meta, achievements and extra activities. While I've seen some complaints about it, I don't really care if the meta is not amazing, we have plenty of those already anyway. Sure, story aside it did feel a bit lackluster, but I can only send kudos to the devs for making something compelling even while they're working hard on the mini-expansion stuff.

And I'm also satisfied because I think this will slot well into Aurelia's story and character arc without any rework needed on my part. She does get more company than the canon commander for sure, but letting people truly in was always the core issue and there are still a few walls to tear down between her and her family. Also the set up part was absolutely done in eager agreement with her partner who was busy elsewhere, and Aurelia of course chooses Canach to lighten her spirits up like old times (and they gotta bring that "lesbian and gay friend who go out together for fun" energy to the triple date).

Lastly, Taimi and Gorrik. FINALLY. My cheeks hurt from grinning like a dolt at any interaction between them.
