I finished part two today and thought I should write a review of part one as well. Part one is much better written. This is very important, as the focus of the game is clearly on the role-playing aspect. Bear in mind that part one was released in 2014 and was most likely supervised by completely different writers than the second part, which was released in 2018. But here, too, a lot of words are used to describe instead of being concise or, better still, simply showing what the protagonist can perceive. Especially when the protagonist's powers come into play, the texts become unbearable. However, the characters are written tolerably well & the protagonist has been properly integrated into the game world. In part two, he is simply a strange nobody that only other rulers can know, if at all. In part one, on the other hand, he is noticeably better integrated into the game world, as his strange, newly acquired powers & the subsequent search for his purpose inevitably & enormously quickly lead him to power & influence. Quite simply a colourful dog, and it's understandable that he attracts a lot of attention. However, there are still various side quests that are thrown at you without reference - the arch enemy of all role-playing games. It's better to have fewer and more suitable quests than lots of irrational ones. 3/10 Adra

Schwer ein Spiel zu empfehlen nachdem man gerade mal den ersten Akt durch hat. Bisher gute Story, gute Charaktere und ein sinnvoll gestaltetes Talent-System. Nicht überfrachtet, aber einige Optionen.
