Anyone else want to kill Trip?
I don't understand how I'm supposed to connect with someone who forces me into slavery, because all I want to do the whole time is kill my slave master. I played this on Xbox long ago and I'm replaying it again and I pretty much hate Trip the whole time just as I did then. Am I really expected to like her after being enslaved by her? Because it seems like they wrote the story in such a way that you're supposed to bond with her or something but I just want her to die. Ever since she both left me to die on the ship and then put a slave collar on me after barely surviving I have hoped that I'd have a chance to kill her or do the same to her, but no such good fortune. Sometimes out of spite I will let Monkey die, knowing that whatever killed him will kill Trip shortly afterwards. I'm glad this game didn't get a sequel.

I thought it was an excellent idea to team up those two right away, and being able to leave the "getting to know each other" until later. In other words, they didn't need to come up with some obscure reason why the two are suddenly teaming up like they do.

I think he might have been convince-able, but even then -- she didn't know him, so how to you figure out what makes him tick? And I don't think she would have been able to trust a random stranger anyway, deal or not.

Considering how strong and dangerous Monkey looks and how she doesn't know him at all, it didn't really surprise me that she took control of his headband. I think most people would do the same thing. In the end of the day, she never really forcefully ordered him around or torture him. She just kept it on him as a precaution to keep herself safe.

You're confused because you think she's hot. Sane people would not have condoned or replicated Trip's actions. Sane people don't enslave other human beings because they "look" dangerous, that's no different than racial profiling. Trip is a royal ♥♥♥♥♥ with a princess complex on a power trip who enslaved Monkey for her own gain and then lied to him about letting him go free once they reached her home. She is utterly unlikeable and that is probably one of the reasons the game failed.

Trip is the archetype of a manipulative ♥♥♥♥♥. She is the worst thing that could possibly happen to Monkey and she is his curse and bane. Eventually Monkey -will- die, because of her. Either because he suffers Stockholm and falls in Love with her, or because he gets himself killed, to get rid of her.

The virtue signaling is strong with this one. Go hook up with an ugly feminist, show us how morally superior you are to us brutes who judge women by their looks. That'll teach us.

You're an idiot. Trip is the one that sets Monkey free in the first place. In the first part of the game she needs Monkey to survive, and in the second she wants revenge for the people who killed her family. She always treats Monkey well and is obviously concerned about his well being. In fact Monkey's chances of survival without her would've been much lower.

I've just come from playing Wolfenstein: The New Order. That game forces you to obey an ugly feminist with shaved head and a huge chest tattoo, who constantly insults you and bosses you around like a tool. I'd have prefered to serve the Nazis instead. Never had that problem with this game. Trip's choice makes sense for her, and what does Monkey really have going for himself on his own?

You also don't understand the meaning of the word "degenerate". Degenerate means being worse than your circumstances. Given Trip's circumstances (poverty, slavery, murdered family) she is remarkably compassionate and humane. She's the opposite of a degenerate.

"Hurr durr I'm a cuck. Hurr durr a degenerate woman enslaves an innocent man FOR HIS OWN GOOD because she knows what's best for him and I'm totally OK with it because she's hot and doesn't have a shaved head. I mean, that guy really didn't have anything going for him anyway so it's good that she enslaved him and took away his freedom of choice. Go women!"

Honestly, I couldn't have made my point any better. Thanks cuck.

That's the same feeling most of us had; barely 10 minutes in and I was ready to throw her over a cliff.

Enslaved comes from an ancient 17th-century Chinese folk tale.
Trip's character was a male Buddhist monk, and Monkey was Sun Wukong, the uncontrollable and often murderous Monkey King. Wukong was frequently punished by Xuanzang (Trip) reciting a spell to give the Monkey King headaches for being an occasionally murderous dumbass.
You're getting triggered over a gender-flipped modern interpretation of an ancient story.
Get over it, OP.

Nope, you just provided yet another reason why this trash game wasn't a success. If the player has to look up obscure folk history to "get" the story and "be ok" with the slavery aspect, then the developers made a huge miscalculation and it SHOWS. Another great example for why Enslaved was a failure.
