I have a bit conflicting thoughts about this. On one hand yes, the “let’s fuck” option comes a bit too easily, simply talk to them a few times, ask about their day, don’t be an ass and you’ll get laid on day 3.

But on the other hand, the game is also filled with situations where you make a single wrong comment and it instantly turns to a fight, which ends up in a bloodbath.

I guess these balance each other out. The game is just generally fast to get to the conclusion, and I don’t really have a problem with it.

I do understand that growling is the part that often splits opinions and I won’t act otherwise, but there’s quite a lot of metal songs with no growling.

I guess the conclusion that “metal is mostly just annoying noise and throaty growling” is related to what gets discussed online - in most cases the vocal part of metal fans are already in the deep end of the subgenres, so only the really heavy stuff gets mentioned. So I do understand where you’re coming from, no real criticism here. :D

I guess the “less heavy” stuff is less often discussed, or just forgotten about when people are talking about “metal” as a whole:
- As an example Nightwish is considered metal, and they have an opera singer: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score
- Another random example, Jonathan Young’s metal cover of Hellfire (from Disney’s Notre Dame). Almost completely clean vocals, but also a bit “angry” sounding here and there.
- Kardashev - Torchpassing is also one of my all-time favourites, and it’s mostly clean vocals. I guess the genre of this song is questionable anyway, due to being a bit more “chill” in many parts of the song - but the faster parts are quite clearly metal. Growling is used like an “extra effect” a couple of times.
It’s also perfectly fine to not enjoy any of these, just dropping them here as examples about metal songs which have a clear melody and no growling. :D

I do like my noise-filled growling too, though. This is one of the songs where I completely understand that vast majority of people would hate it, and anyone expecting otherwise would be delusional. But hey, I love it.
