![]() She just saw him as a potential customer and attempted to lure him -you- in for a personal show so that she could make some money. The lap dancer girl had no idea what Artyom was after. The strip club out of place in relevance to the story works. * Also, the strip club is more believable than the entire Theatre act alone. * And the whole "hard to believe that matching lingerie is still in existence" thing: Wasn't Theatre Station (Bolshoi) a performance place before the war? If so, that that would have to explain where some of the matching outfits come from. Besides, I would rather have the pursuit of "you know who" lead to the strip club because it is something that I would expect more of "you know who" to be at rather than shooting trapped rats for fun at the shooting gallery -like a little kid. I mean, yeah, it is something that you might have not expected to be in the game, but it is also something that would not be an uncommon sight to find in a post-apocalyptic world even in a dark depressing setting like that of Metro. * I think that the strip club fits in perfectly. ![]() Secondly, we don't need that type of discussion here, as things like that belong in General Chat. First of all, that's not at all what I'm saying. However, although I'm not referring to anyone in particular here, I'd just like to make sure that no one tries to interpret what I wrote as saying prostitution is or isn't right/good/moral/etc. Contrary to popular belief, even now in countries where prostitution is legal - and I'm only referring to legitimate business where everyone is consenting and of legal age - prostitutes can actually make plenty of money. As for Nomotog's original argument regarding how it's strange they managed to find so much matching lingerie and how elegant/well-preserved it all seems, I partially agree but I guess it also makes sense that dancers and prostitutes at a station like Venice (where things like that are indeed a lucrative business) would probably lead less materially deprived lives than many other Metro dwellers. The spoiled part is more me talking about how the game aspects add to the feeling of awkwardness.Ĭlick to expand.Yes, it makes sense considering the setting, but I still feel it's not placed in the appropriate part of the game's plot. Wouldn't it make for sense for them to be naked or to be wearing mismatch or home made outfits? Why is their lace in the metro? I guess it's not too too crazy to guess that small amounts of lingerie might survive the blasts, but is it reasonable to find multiple matching sets in good condition that fit? I have a much harder time buying that. ![]() Off hand, I think this might be the big bit that makes it awkward. The next thing I thought of was the style and look of the strip club. The animal trainer, shadow puppets, and even rat shooting range are all little bits of levity that feel like they fit. In theory, that means you need to have everything else dark and depressing or it won't fit, but metro has other moments of levity that don't really feel out of place for the setting. I guess the first thing I should look at is the levity. The strip club portion feels really awkward like it doesn't fit in setting, so I thought I might as well try and puzzle out why I feel this way and maybe see what other people think. ![]() I was playing metro last light the other day and well you read the title.
