Great RPG but questionable tone
From a gameplay perspective, this was one of the best RPGs I have played in quite a while. No long hikes, decent loot and most importantly: frequently interesting quests. Objects have to be dragged and interacted with in all sorts of ways like in few other RPGs. I also appreciated the atypical monster characters (aside from a direct movie ripoff that was just too blatant). But what bothered me as an anti-religious egalitarian are the conservative values that permeate the game. From lots of holy scriptures, talking about the maker and whatnot to characters so typically girly that one might not even see them in some "well-known sexist" games. One may argue that in that fantasy setting, it would make sense for people to have such a traditional world view. But first of all... if you imagine a fantasy world, you can imagine anything. Secondly, that is precisely what a lot of RPGs have done over the years. AND I especially find it questionable because this game seems to be heavily targeted towards kids. If one was to make a Game of Thrones like fantasy RPG filled with chauvinist assholes (not that Driftmoon would be THAT extreme but still...) because that's just how that world is and is really more of a criticism of that attitude than an endorsement and one clearly markets it to an adult audience - why not. But in this case... personally, I wouldn't want my children to be influenced by such a conservative world views.
