Wow!

They've been propagandizing a lot for this on the rpgcodex, it sounded interesting but I didn't think it was nowhere near release. Anyone tried it yet?

if i remember the latest update correctly, atleast 1 ending is complete. and the dev is working on the rest.
the game is playable, but make a save before you near the end, because their changing and updating the final bit of the game. which breaks your save if your around that point.

its a game that requires multiple playthroughs, and multiple tries with different classes. so bear tat in mind if you want to get the most out of the game.

also be warned, its pretty brutal, you really can only take on 2 guys at most. there are many situations where you want to flat out AVOID combat, you really arent a superhero.
Also this isnt one of those "even if my skill isnt high enough, i can still try it without consequence" games, if for say, your disguise skill isnt high enough, then you really shouldnt attempt to put on a disguise because people will try to kill you when you fail.

but its definitely fun , IMHO one of the few RPGs that really gives consequences to your actions and decisions. Hell, even taking the time to travel between cities will move time forward and alter/change events in the game.

I've played it. It definitely succeeds in that old top down rpg feel. Also most the plot is intertwined. You can start off as one of eight different starter kits which aids you to play a certain style or grants more freedom. For instance starting off the game as one class will pit you against who you would be if you picked that other class, and vice versa. Stuff where stories for different classes interact makes the game that much more interesting. There's also plenty of story to visit but the locations are pretty limited. That being said the first two cities and the main arcs for each class were done last time I checked. I read they finished the third city and I think that means they are just gonna polish up the game and make it feel more immersive and then finish it up. It's definitely a game worth getting if you like the old fallouts or games like that. I know I enjoyed it and dagger dodgers are really OP. You can also Kite with crossbows if your guy is fest enough. I might go back in to play even more, I tried all the stories for a short run but I think I'll try to do a new one further in.  I have 34 hours in it which is typical for story games like KotOR but I feel I could easily put in three times that much if other games didn't hold my attention and I wasn't totally stuck in a battle I can't win with my current guy. Also if you do buy this be prepared to die, a lot. You're guy is is the definition of squish unless you go tank mans killer dudes with uber con, heavy armour, and super duper shield skills.

How's the writing?

[Voncrow]

The Stories that I went through were interesting and I can't remember it being typo ridden. So well enough written I believe and intriguing enough to string you along.

Definitely fun and von's right, the stories mesh together with the starting characters. I haven't played them all but the mercenary and the assassin one overlap at the beginning. I thought that was cool. And yeah daggers are awesome. I still liked my mercenary playthrough better until I tried to take on the gang in the town by myself and died. Took out the leader and a member while almost killing a 3rd so not too shabby.

If you can get a high enough dodge skill and a good dagger with enough pierce and +X counters you can easily annihilate almost any enemy. Except other dagger guys built like that, there are two who are near invincible. And don't even get me started on the arena champion. Also I didn't want to spoil things taser. You twat.

You haven't spoiled anything mang. Good stuff tho.

Its a fun game and I like it thus far. I'll def be buying it when they finish it up.
