While PC Principal is supposed to help you fill out the race section of your character card, he needs to be convinced that you’re capable of understanding such a sensitive topic, and will require you to identify five microaggressions, and subsequently punch all five aggressors, before he’s willing to talk about ethnicity. As a side note, I took way too much delight in watching him try to wrap his head around whatever out-there options I could give him. He gets it so wrong, in fact, that you’ll have to go back a few more times in order to learn more and more about gender, sex, and sexuality. Mackey tries to talk to you about gender, and has something of a mental meltdown if you identify as anything other than cis. …At least until he gets tired of re-writing your history, at which point you’ll be stuck with your final choice until you’ve completed your character card.įilling out your character card is as insane, entertaining, and as offensive as the show itself. If you’re not terribly fond of the powers granted to your superhero, who is generally referred to as Buttlord, you can always go back and talk to Cartma–I mean, the Coon, to try out another set of powers. Once you pick your class, you’ll receive a perfectly Cartman-esque custom, DC-style history for your character, rife with danger, pain, and betrayal. Of course, Cartman rules his superhero franchise with an iron fist, and you’ll need both his approval and a backstory before you can join the team. This is incredibly important, as with that much cash, Coon and Friends will finally have the resources to become more popular than those dirty, treacherous Freedom Pals. Cartman, having donned his crusader persona of The Coon, calls all his friends to his lair so they can begin the search for the missing cat Scrambles, and his sweeeeeeeet $100 reward.

In one fell swoop, he disbands the Lord of the Rings-style epic battle, which was set up in the Stick of Truth, and convinces everyone to abandon that game and go play super heroes instead. The Fractured but Whole opens with Cartman doing what he does best: derailing whatever the boys are up to.

While I knew basically what to expect, an interactive episode of South Park, some turn based combat, and a crafting system, I was absolutely unprepared for how good the entire thing was going to be. Imagine my delight when Ubisoft announced that South Park: The Fractured but Whole was making its way to the Nintendo Switch. I know I’m late getting into the South Park games, I’ve always wanted to play them, but I tend to avoid playing RPGs when they tether me to a TV or PC.
