Great story

I rate this game five stars!because it is so much like dungeons and dragons

Great game

Love the story, there are so many possibilities and variations Iโ€™ve probably spent hours and hours with this game, redoing various things for different endings or paths to follow. Very in depth too. Love it!

Great game

I love this game. There are so many options that you can choose early in the game that affect your choices later on that it gives the game great replay value. There are a few suggestions Iโ€™d make (BEWARE OF SPOILERS BELOW).

1. Iโ€™d add more achievements, especially for more niche accomplishments (end game with maximum possible fame, end game with maximum possible peace/army power, win while only having friends/followers who are gnomes, etcโ€ฆ)

2. If the player fails at something because a given stat is too low (ie the collective rating of the party when they face the dragon), telling them what the required value is diminishes the replay value (it especially de-incentivizes options that give them a crystal ball).

3. When healing the headmaster of the academy, the option to use the playerโ€™s troll blood is visible regardless of the race of the player.

4. I donโ€™t k ow if this was intentional, but the Diplomacy is super easy to max out as it gets increased even for choices that are only tangentially related to diplomacy.

Awesome!

Great game, good replay-ability. I donโ€™t think it needs music at all, I would probably just mute it or ignore it. I mean you can literally just play your own, but no text based game Ive ever played has had music anyway. Just good story, good fantasy genre, and good fun
