The story writing needs an intervention
I don't have an issue with the voice acting, I've played all the narrative content for SE1 so I'm used to it, the story however needs to change direction imo.
So as a recap we start as half of a brother duo that are responsible for a colony ship on its way through space to a new star. This is fine, I no issues with this premise. However when something goes wrong your brother loses his nerve and tells us to abandon ship. I have to be honest, at this point the unease set in. These two people would have been chosen to keep the ship and its cargo safe, so logically these people would have a strong sense of right and wrong, duty and fidelity. Your brother is now a coward, something a psych eval would have picked up and excluded him from his role.
I don't necessarily have an issue with your brother being a coward and that causing conflict between you, I do have an issue with my character apologising and being berated for doing the right thing and not abandoning his duty. In the short amount we have already I was so angry that our character has no backbone and is constantly being talked down to by someone who should be ashamed of himself.
Please rethink the narrative, I cant imagine spending hours trying to save this colony ship constantly being blamed for your brothers injury and having to leave him behind is going to be enjoyable at all.
I like this feedback
