remember when graphics didn't make a game? When games focused on telling a story, with almost perfect gameplay and/or cutscenes? When game designers wanted to tell their story through one or two games, not releasing half a game then charging for DLC?

This was Homeworld. This was my childhood.

@TallboyDave This ... is what acting can bring to a computer game.

@chrisman02 Remember when graphics probably mattered at the time and you are just being a hipster? Yeah :3

You know I've been gaming since '82 and this is up there with my all time favourites. A true classic and one of the best games from the 1990s. Superb game that was damn-near perfect in every way.

"the subject did not survive interrogation" I must say, the Hiigaran people seems to have some nasty "interrogation" methods.

just look at the cutscene from HW: Cataclysm - mission 14.

also, next to this mission, the nr 15 mission in Cataclysm (where you "ask" the Bentushi to help you) is probably the second most emotional mission in the series.

I still can't watch the opening cutscene for this mission without breaking down in tears. The music really drives the sense of hopelessness home.

@Daftlander Whatever happened in the interrogation, the interrogators used every fiber of their own will in not killing the captive before they got the first shred of information out of him or her.

[SpazzyMcGee1337]

I can't express in 500 characters the sadness and anger I would feel if 99.99% of my people, my species, was wiped out... to have every bit of information in this universe that is causally intertwined with my own existence, the ultimate totality of what I am, reduced to such a thin thread as half a million individuals adrift in the void, hunted by an empire of trillions.

You may leave your homeworld, but Homeworld will never leave you.

Do you ever wonder what was done during the "interrogation"
