Y'all, that's so nice to hear. Slaves of Chaos is a hard act to follow: I came into BtA shortly before development started on The Growing Silence, without any real experience on a project like it. It was a real trial by fire, but also a ton of fun, and I feel like I learned a lot from it; I definitely hope to carry those lessons with me as we conclude the story. While we've gotten the feedback that the BtA2 pilot cast was hard for some people to keep track of - and that's definitely something we'll be mindful of going forwards - I'm still proud of how much of an "internal life and feelings" we were able to give them, and I'm glad that you liked them. A more nuanced take on the Hammer of Light has been on my wishlist for a long time, and it's really nice to hear that you've picked up on it. Without wishing to spoil, definitely keep that in mind as you play through the rest of the story~
