This is a game into which the designers have put much love and dedication. The main hero is easy to identify with and the story is amazing, ever-driving the game forward and bringing multiple strong emotions. I can highly recommend reading through the rumors and legends the game presents you with. You will be immensely rewarded story-wise. The next big part of the game are battles. These are fought on hex-shaped battlefieds in turn-based mode. While you may employ a limited amount of tactics, they get repetitive pretty quickly. Luckily, they are fast-paced and usually over quickly. Music is pleasant to hear throughout and well completes the medieval setting. Graphics are pretty solid in my opinion for a game of this age. My biggest reservation about the game is that it is not very polished. So e.g. when at the beginning you give name to your character, nobody tells you that you are a noble „von Lahnstein“. Not knowing that, I named my character „Heinrich von Tannwald“ which resulted in him being called Heinrich von Tannwald von Lahnstein some time to the game (too much to re-start and rename him). Or you cannot rename your save by holding backspace. You need to press backspace individually for each character in the default save name you want to delete. Or you cannot load your save by double-clicking the save, you need to select it and then press the load button. In one quest, there was an issue in translation (from German to English) which prevents you from going where you need to to finish the quest. But these are all minor issues. I can highly recommend buying this game.
