A true gem.
When it comes to gaming (or actually, any way I spend my free time, which is my most truly valuable resource), story is what counts the most. Something to learn a little from, something to escape into, and something that has meaning. There are a slew of games out there now that promise that all the decisions matter, yet railroad you into a single, or very limited set of options; this isn't one. When you build the character, it's far from a set of numbers that all fall back to how well you'll hit something, or deciding on whether you can pick a lock or not; this game encapsulates roleplay at its finest, and brings out the struggle of fighting your own nature (the character's) to achieve what you really want to do, despite your shortcomings.. Or perhaps not being able to overcome them.. But that's ok too.. It's part of the story, and comes with the territory of being human. The polish and depth to what is there, is frankly amazing. The art is top notch. The storytelling professional and gripping. The character building is phenomenal. I've shelled out for a few "in development" games, and found myself a little disappointed as they petered out, and I didn't quite feel as though I got the value I expected. From this game.. Even as stands, with so much more of the story to go, I definitely feel as though I've already had exceptional value.. Definitely not a hack and slash.. But definitely a game that will make you think, and reflect inwardly. In an era of everything being reduced to single issue, or having a designer's politics preached, this is brave enough to step out of that mould and say "make of this time what you will.". And on the "make of it what you will", I can't recollect any game delivering on that quite as well as this one.
