This game is very engrossing and packs a good punch visually. It covers much of the Bronze and Iron Age and has many roleplaying aspects where monarchs get to make important decisions. Occasionally, the random events can sound a little unlikely. Also, I am less interested in the sex lives of the characters. But there's much to be said for this game and it's always being improved and moddable as well.
This game is for roleplayers who like a dash of puzzle solving and tactical decision-making. It has options for people like me who are into worldbuilding and crafting. The chararcters (so far) are likeable and lack any kind of agenda like we've seen in more recent games. It's about storytelling and repartee like old Baldur's Gate with Pathfinder-level graphics. If I have any gripes, it's maybe that elves and dwarves are a bit stereotypical. Due to the limits of the scope, this game is tied to one location, but it's not your average dungeon crawl. Worth buying -- I got it on discount.
