Overrated and linear
I really wanted to like this game - it showed a lot of promise, what with being able to play an intelligent villain rather than just the murderous moron like other games and making choices that actually have an effect on the story. Well, to be blunt, this is probably the last time I pre-order. What killed it for me, (SPOILER ALERT) was the forced choice between factions. I knew, of course, that there would be a choice. But I wasn't expecting it to be binary. Early on (around 3 hours for me, iirc) the game literally forces you to choose which faction of Kyros' empire to side with - the roman legion-esque Disfavored or the chaotic, sneaky Scarlet Chorus. I had assumed that there would be a third option, manage to get the two sides to stop bickering and unite. Oh, how wrong I was. One of the characters literally screamed at me MAKE A CHOICE! ONE OR THE OTHER! NO COMPROMISE! RARRRRGHHHH! A linear RPG, to me, is an abomination. It's like non-alcoholic beer - what's the point? An RPG should be saying to the player, "YES!" and not "NO! NO! FOLLOW THE PLOT! STAY ON THE RAILS!" If this game is any indication, I'm really glad I never got around to playing Pillars of Eternity. Goodbye, Obsidian. You're not getting any more of my money.
Hilft dir das weiter?
