So, I played Guild Wars 2 at launch, and there was a lot of charm to it, the world bosses or whatever they call them, 100 people fighting a dragon or whatever, since I have tried since then, it's lost that charm, people are spread all over the place now. That's not a huge issue, I mostly solo, but there's not a lot of narrative drive there, unlike Guild Wars 1, where the world changed as you went along. Ah, well.

Paradox is messing up the IP they bought, first person only Bloodlines 2, and then this...just strange. I get it's easier to tell a story with one character in mind, but I think Mass Effect showed we can do male or female, and whatever colour you want without messing with the narrative too much.

In Baldur's Gate you can sim real time with pause, I mean the turns happen, but you let them run, I kind of just design a party to do combat a la Darklands, just swords hacking the whole time. Ah well, turn based similar to their other games isn't too bad.

I'm sad to think that this game just may bomb. And maybe people will assume it's an SJW game.

Nope, it's full turnbased. Even the best designed ones get tedious quickly. Larian seems more focused on interactive-environment shennanigans than on D&D rules.

Well, publishers who are a bit more connected can't always be a bad thing, I imagine they would deal with bloat, like Star Citizen probably could have used one.

For myself, I think it's okay, I wonder if you can do the real time with pause though, a la Origins. I wish more games would copy that combat model, it's probably my favourite.

Not at all impressed by this game.

Can't design our character, so it's an adventure game with combat, sorry nope.

Well, I think I will be getting this if the reviews are decent
