But then the Roswell levels also revolve around BJ taking a nuke to Roswell and detonating it. It’s built up as this massive insane thing that killed millions. Tangent, I know, but just a thought.Īnyway: so yeah, there’s all this stuff throughout the Manhattan levels about how the bomb was awful, and millions of people died, and it’s a massive scar on the psyche and geography of America. And – just for a moment, can you imagine if Grace was a Japanese American giving that monologue? That would be a fucking massive commentary on the really complex elements of American history that Wolfenstein 2 is trying to deal with. And your introduction to Grace’s character includes her monologue on the horrors of the nuke and the resulting burns all over her arm and so on. Obviously the game has the whole Manhattan sequence, where you go to Manhattan and the twist is that the Nazis nuked New York because it’s an alt-history and they didn’t want to include Hiroshima because that would be too real or something. So – the more you dig into this move, the more it seems just like a totally incoherent decision. It really only hit me on this playthrough, uh, but you straight up nuke America. You sneak into the base, pop a nuke in the reactor, and fuck off before it all blows up. So one of the big segments in the game sees you go to Roswell, where there’s a massive Nazi command unit.
Okay I said last week that we’d talk more about the nuking of Roswell, and now it’s next week and we’re talking about Roswell.
