You can play the whole of Far Cry games without ever killing more than a few animals if you wanted to, besides the ones that attack you for no reason. Why are they just attacking humans for no reason all the time? Even still, what sets Fallen Order apart from other games that feature wanton animal murder, such as Far Cry games, is the fact that killing these creatures is an absolutely necessary part of progressing in the game.
Do I think that it’s a bit weird though when wild animals constantly attack people unprovoked in games? Absolutely. Plus, the “enemies” respawn every time you meditate, so it’s not like I’m worried that Cal is going to cause an extinction with his murder sprees or anything. I’m not offended by the fact that you can kill them recklessly. Look, I get that Fallen Orderfauna are just polygons on a screen.
The human infestation is not only dangerous to the wellbeing of native fauna, but it’s also pretty amoral. Humans are an invasive species to literally every planet in the galaxy as they colonized foreign worlds over the course of millennia. It’s deeply anthropocentric to assume that every wild creature Cal would encounter in his journey would automatically be hostile towards him and attack him relentlessly. In many of the game’s environments, since the whole point is to avoid being detected by the Empire, the only types of enemies the folks at Respawn Entertainment were apparently left with are eternally hostile creatures and monsters. Either you complete your objectives and you gain experience towards skill points, you find hidden collectibles, or you kill things. There are three ways that your character, Cal, levels up in Fallen Order. From the absolutely adorable hopping, bug-eyed, fluffy-tailed little boblings of Bracca to the utterly huge, ferocious, tusked hydraatis of Dathomir, there is an abundance of new beings in the Galaxy Far Far Away to learn about in the game’s database after encountering them or exploring their habitats.įor as much though, as Fallen Order poured enormous detail into the invention of dozens of new creatures, the game has a huge problem: leveling up is tied directly to the mass murder of the indigenous fauna. As you travel across the galaxy visiting planets old and new to longtime Star Wars fans, you will encounter all sorts of creatures, virtually none of which have ever been featured in Star Wars before. In Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, fauna is absolutely everywhere.
