No on Watch Dogs 3. For great story I would suggest these:

God of War (2022)

Red Dead Redemption 2

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

The mindflayer that infects the pc in the intro certainly looks like the Emperor. No other in the game with that same sized collar as the Emperor.

I can link larger versions of either of these. I used Bing’s Image Creator if you want to mess around with it using the prompt: photorealistic picture depicting a pink felt puppet of Cthulhu on the set of Sesame Street

Same as the original post, just swapped green for pink.

Yes

How could I not name my Dark Urge bard Dirge?

I’m kinda in the same boat. I’m doing a second playground with a human Bard Dark Urge, named Dirge of course, and I’m having trouble going full evil. I’m picking every Bard and Dark Urge text when I’m given those options but I’m not going out of my way to be evil yet.

The auto industry lobbied to kill public transportation back in the day to sell more cars. For a recent example see Ellen Musk and the Hyper Loop.
