What shocked me about Pentiment is that it soon becomes very clear you're not here to solve the murder. You're not here to speak the truth. The system is inherently unjust and you're here to find evidence to condemn someone.
Even if the person is guilty, do they deserve death and damnation (they're Christians they believe in that kind of things) for what they've done? The game don't give you the time to investigate everything. Do you choose to investigate someone further because they seem guilty, or because you WANT them to be?
Most detective games won't let you move on until you find the right culprit, and you're delivering justice. The world will be illuminated by the truth. But most detective game don't make you watch the public execution.

the best thing about dragon age's canon being so "decide what did and didnt happen" dependent is that you can just ignore veilguard. none of this stupid shit happening is perfectly canon compliant for your world state. if veilguard can just decide what did and didnt happen in a world state so easily its only fair the player can do the same thing. like erm actually i consulted my dragon age keep dot com and none of that shit was in there. so
conclave the book is like so specifically written too like ... its so crazy. bellini's line about "families having 10 children because mama and papa didn't know any better" & "standing for everything tedesco does not" is like only a few pages apart from the reveal of tedesco's backstory being that he's the youngest of 12 kids and grew up destitutely poor from that (& still eats like he's terrified someone might steal his food). like ohh... tedesco is a product of his environment and the paradigm of the traditional values failing people & still trying to force those values on people despite knowing the firsthand experience of the way it sucks. crab in a bucket style.
