![]() However, almost everything else is left completely unresolved. Yes, there is a (rather bittersweet) resolution to the Rufus-saving-Goal storyline and you do find out what happens to Deponia in the end. ![]() As the story builds to a climax, there is tension and you really feel like lives hang on every word Rufus says near the end.Īt first glance, the ending seems to make sense - until you think about it. The story is well-told and full of jokes and visual gags, and every single character is memorable. Even though everyone in town hates him, Rufus is thrust into the limelight to save the world and (hopefully) get the girl. Unfortunately, a conniving group of Elysian villains called the Arganon not only want her back, but plan to blow up Deponia once they get her. If Rufus can revive her, he thinks, not only will he get to Elysium, but he’ll win the hand of a beautiful girl as well. Goal is an Elysian woman who falls from the sky and gets knocked unconscious. That plan fails miserably, and he soon gets a new goal: saving a girl named, well… Goal. A scenario at the start of the game seamlessly blends the story with the point-and-click gameplay, with the player collecting tools to build a pulley system that will latch onto a passing ship and carry him aboard. To this end, he is constantly designing new contraptions to assist himself. He wants to escape his proletarian lifestyle by going to Elysium, the bourgeois neighbouring planet, so that people will finally recognize him for the wonderful gift to humanity he is. ![]() ![]() Rufus’ objective in Deponia is to find a way off the titular planet, which is essentially a gigantic junkyard. Ordinarily, a character like this would disgust me.īut he’s so dang funny! Where else are you going to find a guy who tricks his ex-girlfriend into teaching a trained parrot derogatory phrases about himself, then uses said parrot to prank call the police so he can sneak into the station and take needed supplies? He’s a lazy screw-up who gets along by mooching off his ex-girlfriend, he refuses to get a job or do anything meaningful with his time, and he’s crass and rude even in the most inappropriate of circumstances. Rufus is the most unlikeable video game protagonist that I have ever found awesome. By Daniel Share-Strom, posted on 03 September 2012 / 4,797 Views ![]()
