I remember once loving certain games over others because their story was an experience. Turns out these games were rpgs. I cannot be more pleased with this game so far because of the story, characters, setting, and the writing. So, Starting from the beginning: Typically when you fire up an rpg, you begin by creating your characters. There are many screen where you have to choose how much of this and how much of that to put into skills and abilities depending on what kind of character you want to play. I really like the TToN does it because instead of having to crunch numbers and select stats and worrying if your character will work, you get to jump right in. ---SPOILER---- the first part of the game is creating your character through the choices you make in the first 10-15 minutes of the game. Based off what you choose the game will give you an idea of what type of character you've been acting as. There is Nano (Sorcerer) Glaive (Fighter) and Jack (Rogue) The whole time you've been in game playing, surrounded by the wonderful weird that is Numenera. There is so much to the setting that when you're fresh you will just walk around watching at how things exist. Many a time, I've been caught just staring and being like wtf . . . is that! Lastly, for the review I just want to comment about the writing. It is great, you're immersed and you will laugh at the things you read. This game gives you choices, lots and lots of choices. You will dislike characters for their attitudes, but catch yourself liking how they handle certain situations.
