Honestly the gameplay itself isn't that bad - it does have that old school feel etc, which i do appreciate. What I really dislike though is the learning point system - it gives you a bunch of gameplay mechanics, but then basically makes it so you can't utilise them to get stronger (especially when almost every combat interaction nearly kills you). Wouldn't be bad if you could level up your crafting across the board a bit easier or levelled more often to give you more points, but it doesn't.
It's not terrible, it's just not worth spending more time in for me as it quickly turns into a grind that doesn't pay off.

Gives old Fallout 2 Vibes but in a fantasy medieval RPG.

I was pleased with the depth of both the crafting system as well as the freedom given to develop the characters class and skills

There's nothing about this game that really excites me. No sex appeal, you can only play as a guy, the whole thing feels very plain & milquetoast, & there's no steam workshop support to help you change any of that.
I want sexy sorceresses, voluptuous tavern wenches, & busty babes in chainmail bikinis.
This game doesn't have any of those things.
Refunded.
