i guess you just ignored all of the dialogue directly addressing the trainee who repeatedly used contractions.
It is not just Liam. In the cutscenes, both Perez and Sarah Weaver slip into using contractions as well.

The writing is just way off. Liam referring to piloting a mech as a "job", talking about "R&R" time, etc... the writing betrays a complete unawareness of the thinking of trueborn Clan warriors.

So it turns out that Clan Smoke Jaguar would have easily overrun the entire Inner Sphere by themselves had they just built more Nova Primes.

The irony that a "what crack were the Clan Science Caste smoking" fail design in the Battletech miniature wargame, cRPG (with mods) and ccg is ideal in FPS mode.

After some more time with the game, I have to say that it isn't bad amd it does some things better than Mercs but a lot of it is junk needlessly wonky. The menus especially. Once you get into the medium tonnage range of mechs the options really open up. It's a fucking chore to remember which pilot has which skills that go with which mech loadout.

The use of in vitro fertilization was also partially responsible for the casualness of love and relationships within Clan society, especially as the act of sex became divorced from reproduction. Whereas in the Inner Sphere such acts are considered a sign of intimacy in a relationship, among Clan warriors it is merely a normal part of friendship. The idea of sexual fidelity is completely lost on them as coupling with friends, usually members of the same sibko, is completely natural.
:hmmm:

So it's been a month now, any good? Or better wait for patches/dlcs/mods to roll out?
I quite enjoyed mercs but wasn't much to do late game, does this have something to do?

It plays like a particularly long series of story missions in Mercs. Because that's what it is.
At the current price they're asking too much.
Also the story and presentation are meh.

What about length? I thought mercs main campaign was too short.
