evilcat Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Game is great in first walkthought, on second you start to notice that the freedom of choice is an illusion. But first time it doesnt matter. Other significant thing is that it is adventure crpg, which is like new subgenre. If you take crpg and keep branching storyline, quest, skill tests, inventory but... minimalize combat and 9 tiers of spells people will still like it.

It works perfectly well in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even in NetHack it's really limited, if you're interested in winning it. I mean, there's only one way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringingyouthefuture Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Is this game like Police Quest? I don't think I will get it, but it reminds me of an old Sierra game. “How do you 'accidentally' kill a nobleman in his own mansion?" "With a knife in the chest. Or, rather, a pair of knives in the chest...” The Final Empire, Mistborn Trilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzar_monty Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 To a certain extent it is, yes, with a little bit of Leisure Suit Larry decadence thrown in. It's an extremely well-written cRPG with Police Quest overtones. It's very heartily recommended, especially if you like good storytelling (as opposed to, say, mob fights). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bringingyouthefuture Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Okay you are convincing me, I have been resisting - how many game hours of playing do you think? “How do you 'accidentally' kill a nobleman in his own mansion?"

xzar_monty Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Mine was just over 24 hours, but I understood perfectly well that there were many side quests I did not finish. So it's a bit on the short side, I would say, but definitely worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugarup Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Mine was pretty completionist, clocked in something like 35 hours. And it feels like a RPG, not Sierra or any other adventure game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
