A worthy successor to PT, but...
My expectations for DE were something at the level of Planescape Torment and non-combat playthroughs of Age of Decadance. It largely delivered. The setting, the plot, core gameplay and the quality of writing hooked me up almost immediately. Soundtrack and art style are not quite my taste, but still very distinct. I enjoyed most of my time with Disco, and the praise is definitely deserved. However, so is some of the criticism. At times, it felt like there was too much info dump; the ending was nice, but not ground-breaking; you can roleplay different archetypes, but there is little variability in outcomes, on a grand scale (apart ffrom a few). I hoped for something AoD-style, where you can radically alter the direction of the story in key points. The biggest flaw for me is that, in terms of gameplay, the second and all subsequent playthroughs promise to offer largely the same experience as the initial one. Yes, there will be different situations, locations, dialogues and outcomes, but in terms of mechanics, this will be still the same active and passive skillchecks and plenty of reading. Again, AoD felt sufficiently difffrent during non-combat and combat runs. DE's greater length (of about 40hrs for me) also plays against it in this case. Overall, a very good and original game, but more for the lovers of this type of gameplay. 9/10 Playthrough: about 45hrs, did most of the content available for the single playthrough, plus checked some alternative outcomes. Missed a few quests as they elapsed because of the passage of time.
