This is my first Warhammer and it seems this is game isn't the start of the lore but in the midst of it. Regardless, I like the story. The gameplay is pretty fun and action-packed. Because of Dark Souls I expected my rolls to be invincible, but Warhammer keeps the realism where you still can get hurt. Same goes for the execution animation. Just got to play more conscious, that's all. I beat the game in one sitting in about 6 hrs. Overall, great game.
