Dealing with the most obvious betrayal in Nikke and lack of motivation for posts.

 

This past couple of weeks have been pretty rough. I have struggled mentally and have had a very hard time gaining any form of motivation for blog posts. I think going forward, I will no longer burden myself with weekly posts and instead perhaps aim for bi-weekly or whenever inspiration strikes to avoid feeling burnt out. 

With my struggles for motivation, I found myself getting lost in the world of Nikke much more than I had previously expected. Yes, I already covered the game on the blog, but it really is a great game that deserves all the praise that it gets. 

Despite hitting the wall, that being the sudden uptick in difficulty that requires players to upgrade all of their available Nikkes, I have managed to slowly progress through chapter 16. That particular chapter starts off with some very good tension, but I do think that the Commander and Counters are both incredibly naïve when it comes to a certain other squad. Imagine trying to trust a squad of terrorists. That goes doubly so for the leader of that squad, a Nikke whom was made playable in a decision that still baffles me to this day. She  absolutely despises the Ark and especially humans as she believes they abuse Nikkes. She also despises Commanders as she sees them as beneficiaries of said Nikke abuse. Although, she does come around to the protagonist in a twisted sense, viewing them as a vital part of her terror plots. 

Please excuse my rambling but what person, human or Nikke, would ever think to trust a terrorist, both in their human life and in their Nikke one? So, so dumb... Still, the story does go kind of hard afterwards.
