This is the first 'turn base' combat game that I really enjoyed, in consequence I took the time to explore everything it offered. The result was a very interesting experience, conflictual, but worth it. The 'narrator' concept is brilliantly implemented, I really didn't feel the need for animations while interactig with the world's characters. It was the hook that kept me going while I started playing. It just 'works', I don't remember any other rpg game that implemented it like this... The story is complex and interesting. Maybe it gets a little too twisted at times, but the 'script' is very well written so it's a pleasure. The combat system gives such an immense freedom that you can only applaud it's creators. The drawback, at least for me, was the difficulty and the time invested in each battle. I don't have a lot of free time...and if you make mistakes (which you will) and you have to re-battle, well, it can take up to 1h+ , in some cases, for one battle. This was the conflictual part - oh, and the fact that sometimes I just don't see some darn levers, that are too blended in the environment ..really frustrating- As a side note, I found it to be more ballenced if I play in 'explorer' mode and fight with levels greater than mine (up to 2 points), otherwise it's too easy. It's just tad easier than 'classic' mode while fighting with the same level. (throughout the game I constantly changed difficulty in order to find a ballanced combat enjoyable for me) So get it, try it, enjoy it!
