Uses AI without disclosing such. I do not want my money to support lazy images that take money away from real artists. But since I bought this on release and didn't get around to it steam denied my refund request. Frankly it does feel like they purposely hid it in the back part of the game so that steam players could not refund it once it was apparent, especially since they did not put it on their steam page as other games using ai typically do.

I came to watch an Empress kick ass. Sadly, the amount of AI used made the game a slog. Such a shame, I loved the first game and was counting down the days until this one released. Maybe if they update it to remove the AI crap, I'll finish the story.

I actually really loved this game. The decision making, the filming, the storyline is overall so fun and well done. However I recently found out that the end of the game uses GenAI, and I can never condone that. I wish I'd known this earlier because I would have never bought the game in the first place
