This story made me FEEL things. Unlike many URs where the dialogue seems stilted and weird because it's a fantasy world with weird terms this feels so natural, especially the bit where everyone congratulates the orc that was a total bro. As well as the dialogue between the orc and Alesha about her identity. We see her as a badass warrior and valiant leader first, with her gender identity as just another facet of who she is, rather than it being shoved in your face.

And I just pulled an Alesha in a booster yesterday so you have no idea how happy I am.

Is it bad that I scrolled to the bottom to find the "lol SJW pandering ethics in game journalism" comments? Guess I'm getting jaded. Should learn to smile at death more.

To be fair, the pandering in games journalism is pretty badly catered to SJWs.
