Very solid old-school RPG

I enjoyed this game very much - if you like izometric RPGs you will have a good time. Remember - this game is like 50% reading, and it's great if you like it - but you have been warned. Pros: + very detailed and interesting setting + many decistions that actually affect gameplay + the best spells system I have seen in a while (making your own spells is super-rewarding) Cons: - the closer you are to the ending the more tidious and pointless combat becomes (and all that accompanies it - like developing skills or otimizing items). Its very good when you begin and very boring when you end the game. - the weight of past decisions sometimes weigts too much. Who you choose to support in Act 1 closes most options for the rest of the game

Ein unerwartet intensives Erlebniss

Dieses Game macht sehr viel richtig und nur sehr wenig falsch! Positiv: - Fesselnde Geschichte die gut und teilweise inovativ erzählt wird. - Extrem interessantes magiesystem bei dem man aus verschiedenen Zeichen seine eigenen Zauber kreiert. So kann man z.B. aus der Feuersigille alles mögliche bauen vom Feuerstrahl über Meteorregen, Feuerball, Flammenschild oder brennenden Händen zu Feuerverzauberung der Waffe oder Pulsierendem Glutkörper der alle nahen Feinde wegbrennt. Den Möglichkeiten sind kaum Grenzen gesetzt und das war nur Feuer es gibt ja noch viele andere Formen. - Echtzeitkampf der so verlangsamt werden kann das trotzdem vernünftige Taktiken angewendet werden können. - Coole NPC´s und potenzielle Gruppenmitglieder die eigene motivationen haben und unterschiedlich auf die eigenen Taten reagieren. - Endlich mal ein Game in dem man wirklich böse sein kann und es nicht nur angekündigt wird. Hier wird böse sein belohnt und dennoch gibt es oft sehr verschieden möglichkeiten mit Situationen umzugehen und nicht nur dumpfes alles umhauen. - Hoher wiederspielwert da es (mindestens) 2 völlig unterschiedliche Wege gibt seine eigene Macht zu festigen. - Klares Rufsystem der verschiedenen Fraktionen womit immer klar ist wie die eigenen Entscheidungen von anderen aufgenommen werden. - Nur ganz am Anfang ein (großzügiges) Zeitlimit und dann nie wieder im Spiel. Negativ: - Manche Entscheidungen haben erst deutlich später teils gewichtige konsequenzen. Das kann man also erst beim 2. Durchspielen planen. - Sehr viel Text zu lesen (ist aber gut geschrieben und vernünftig übersetzt). Fazit: Wer RPG´s mag und schon immer mal wirklich ein Bösewicht sein wollte sollte dieses Spiel nicht verpassen.

Excellent first impression, but...

I have mixed feelings about this. The story and setting sound very appealing and it is very good. The characters are interesting. The game technically worked fine for me and ran fluently. I liked the game system a lot more than pillars of eternity, too. I especially liked the combat system and character development system. By learning by usage, the character really felt "growing" and did not feel too limited. Level-ups were also not too impactful, but everyone mattered. The first chapter is everything promised and i second all 5 stars reviews for it. But... ,,, from the second chapter onwards my experience slowly went from "excellent!" at the end of chapter 1 to "annoying" when i stopped even playing after a big reveal. The advertised "choices with consequences" are really that...just not as i expected.. Once you made your choices in the first chapter, you can only change them either by "doing everything as told" or "complete betrayal and killing every friend you made". This was too much "bad roleplaying and out of character" for me. Especially annoying was that it all was forced upon you without even being necessary...explaining it would require spoilers, but just play the beastman chapters as non-rebel and you might understand.. If you expect "evil" or "cunning" decisions and stories of intrigue and betrayal as for example "fallout", you will be disappointed. The second disappointment came with realizing how the game system handles encounters. It was not as bad for me as in pillars of eternity (where you could get stuck storywise for lack of progression), but i really hate scaling enemies. And this game has them, so better include it in the cons. Especially if you advertise your game as "return to the old-school"... So here the game system and mechanics loose a star for me. Combined with the roleplaying flaws (5 stars in first chapter to 0 in the last one i played), i can't see more than a three star from an old-school (played almost every RPG from ultima, bard's tale, wasteland to fallout 3, pillars and tyranny) perspective. I bought it on discount and i had a lot of fun (and hours of gameplay there alone) during the first chapter, so that i my moneys worth and if you don't get annoyed by the third chapter, you might enjoy the game till the end.

Best isometric rpg since Baldurs Gate

This game is just amazing. You play in a world where evil has won, the godlike figure Kyros the overlord controls every aspect of society and rules with fear - and you are one of her enforcers. Through out the game you'll experience what it means to live in a world void of morality. You get to pick a side, but none of the choices are truly "good". The combat is fun and engaging. The spell making system is a lot of fun to explore and the world is very well done. I regard the complaints of game length as being misunderstandings. If you really want to explore and try everything you will need to play it through multiple times from different angles - choosing different sides, different allies, different options. Now i do have two complaints **Spoilers** The neutral path where you are advised by the Archon of shadows (Bleden Mark) is a bit boring since your only choice is to kill everyone. The ending leaves you as a contestant to Kyros him/her self. I would much have preferred that Kyros remained an untouchable godlike figure as i think that makes the world more interesting from a moral perspective.

Choose your own adventure meets RPG

Lets get this out of the way first, this is not an open world RPG. It's more like a choose your own adventure RPG. Second, this game is shorter than an open world RPG like Pillars, but it's not as short as some reviews claim. My first game clocked in at 150 hours (according to the save file). I spent a lot of time reading the lore entries on my first time around, but even without that, I don't see how people are getting through this game in 20 hours. If you're finishing the game in under 50 hours you're missing out on a lot of content since not every quest shows up in the journal. Right after creating your character, you play the conquest. The Conquest is a short choose your own adventure mini-game which you decide how your character participated in the conquest of the Tiers and set up your initial faction influences. You will be presented with two locations, with each location having you chose between two battles and each battle having two outcomes. The last part of the conquest has you choosing between three locations where you will cast one of the three edicts in effect at the start of the game. You can skip this and chose between one of three presets (I don't recommend this). The rest of the game plays out in a choose your own adventure style as well, but on a larger scale. The main quests will generally present you with two or more initial paths. Sometimes you will be able to complete all of them, but the others may change depending on the order you decided to take them in. Other times, picking one option will close off the other, or it will present a third option after completing the first and you can only pick one of those two. Unlike an open world game, it is impossible to see and do everything in one play through. I enjoyed Tyranny a lot. It's a new take on the old-school isometric RPG formula, and I hope to see a sequel and/or more games like it from Obsidian.
