[quote]This turns a lot of people away from what is essentially a proper RPG.[/quote] Would someone who plays quite a lot of CRPG's consider this game to be a "proper RPG"? Because it really doesn't look like it.

I couldn't outright recommend it, I feel like the game is pretty polarizing. It has a surprising amount of depth and doesn't hold your hand at all. The dialogue is what I dig the most, you've gotta talk to everyone and they all have their own virtual feelings to hurt lol. People remember what you tell them and even side missions can branch off in multiple ways depending on how you wanna handle shit. The game feels generic at times and the protagonist is set, no choosing a gender and name and all that. There's more to say but I don't know if you want me to ramble. 😂

I've kept it on my wishlist for now. I'm gonna look into it more next year when I have less to play. I didn't realise it was made by the same people as Gothic and Risen, though. That's pretty cool!
