So many games (and indeed films) do this. WHY ARE WE ROOTING FOR OUR TEAM?!
I mean seriously, why is the 10th legion good? I've been given some expose on our enemy but that doesn't really help because all I have is the word of some old guy who is undoubtedly going to be quite bitter about the fact that his happy little empire was taken away from him. It reminds me of so many plots where we are just assumed to be on the side of right because...well, because they say so. Or often times they don't even bother saying, it's just a straight up assumption.
Anyway yeah this was an annoying intro, the Jeyne thing got surprisingly irritating (seriously...) and the premise just seems empty. A cliché we're meant to just run with because...well because it's a cliché. Lazy...
On the video though, yeah I liked it, it was good.
