FWIW though, some of the main enemies of the POE1 campaign are thinly veiled Christofascists so as much as the game depicts Aztecs in a very cringe way, it at least throws shade at fascists too.
nice that sums up the vibes I was getting just from this one video. the gameplay does seem enjoyable but my tolerance for that kind of narrative is pretty low these days
