Gameplay: 10/10 - The adaptation of the Pathfinder rules is amazing, with so much of the versatility and tactical options making their way through. On top of that is a kingdom management sim with a plethora of options and strategies. Games with this much depth are very rare. Graphics: 7.5/10 - The graphics are good all around, but lack a little detail. This is mitigated by the limited zoom. Lighting effects are very good, and everything looks as it should, but nothing so far has stood out and really wowed me. Music: 7.5/10 - Pretty typical orchestral fantasy music, but good. Some of the tunes, such as the main theme, are quite good. Each piece fits the mood quite nicely, and as far as video game music goes, it's above average. Story: 8.5/10 - So far the story has played out quite well. It's not had any major twists so far but you can tell that a fair amount of talent has gone into the writing, thanks to Chris Avellone. There have been a few small twists and I can't wait to see what comes of them! Fun Factor: 10/10 - Few games draw me in as much as games based on the d20 rule set. Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2 are my favorite games of all time and Knights of the Old Republic comes in near the top. Add to this a Kingdom simulation (another genre I love,) and I have a feeling this game will draw me in over and over, especially if they continue to add to it in the future!
