I dont know why it is praised.
One star is harsh i know. But you know what is harsher ? Bad game design by bad Dungeon Masters/RPGs creators. This game has been created by people that have a very strang idea of a good campaign/game. Want to know why ? Because certain path, choices and options to resolve quests ARE so railroaded and STUPIDLY designed it is plainful. For exemple you would expect a character with 10/10 Int, 8/10 perception and dexterity to be able to pass two thiefs guards in the slums. Seeing/hearing them(Per), escape them quickly(dexterity). Being smart enought to just find another way or wait midnight for some more cover ? No... You have to pass a forced charisma/impersonation check 2 F*****G METERS from them. Worse, I passed succesfully 2 bands of thugs from the same faction with the same skill earlier in the SAME slums. Now because the forced UNIQUE(understand "lack of other option") skill check im in for s****y combat. That REEKS of bad-design and incompetence. Was it so difficult to add boxes of text with more skill checked ? It seems so. Too many encounter of this kind for at least a good 25% of the game I played. I want to use my stats, not look at a guid on the internet because you forget to add a simple skill check. The overall ruleset is 50/50 for me. For exemple the primary stats do not directly influence your skills score but sometimes you still needs them for a check with a skill in which you have heavily invested. What was the point ? But its more a question of bad encounter/quest design than a bad ruleset 0Graphics : Fonctionnal OST : Cant judge, I did not finished the game. Writing : Outside the lack of choices I thing it is good to passable. Their are two kind of people on this earth, normal people and masochiste. Are you the latter ? Go on, take it for 2€. If you are one of the former then even for 2€ you will feel wronged. AVOID. Or better, take UnderRail(For the lack of diplomatic way in this one, at least it did the combats and suvival far better).
