Got Lords of Midnight for my tablet, and as Ghorpm said, I pretty much didn't know what to do. And since I have other games to play, I gave up on it for the time being. Though I think I might use a playthrough next time around....maybe.

TLDR: Unique experience couched in tribal Norse culture, blending several genres together and focusing on storytelling and lore, hand painted graphics and beautiful music, but with a very steep learning curve. I highly recommend it for its setting and unique gameplay, but be warned that you will need to spend time with the manual and experiment a lot to see what works, what doesn't, and most of all how to roleplay a Norse clan. [/TLDR]

King of Dragon pass is a completely unique experience. It is a strange mixture of role-playing game, management/simulation and strategy, but its main drive and focus is storytelling. It is couched in Norse lore and culture (but with its own myths and pantheon), and is very immersive and interesting. Because it consists of static screens, the game holds up very well graphically: the various events that your clan lives through are illustrated by beautiful hand painted scenes. And the music is simply gorgeous, and sets the mood very effectively.
You will never play the same game twice: as a fledgling clan, you will need to survive and thrive while facing random events and catastrophes, fighting battles, making decisions that will affect not only the outcome of an event, but its future repercussions on your clan. A strategy that was successful in one game may fail in the next, and vice versa. The mechanics of the game are very deep and complex and the learning curve is steep if you want to succeed. But trial and error are very enjoyable in themselves, because each time you shape a different story (which is actually recorded as your clan's saga, and is save in a text file you can print out). The replay value of this game is huge.

Whether you should play it of not boils down to one question you must ask yourself: how important is storytelling and lore in a video game for you? You will need to read the manual for this game (and then reread it a couple of times while playing), you will need to immerse yourself in the way of thinking of a barbaric Norse clan (their morality and custom are very different from modern ones), you will have to think in terms of culture and story instead of crunching numbers (although you will need to deal with some numbers, there is no mathematical optimization that will magically win you the game).

Like I said, this is a unique experience. There's nothing like it. If you're willing to invest time into learning its lore and mechanics, it's a very, VERY rewarding and enjoyable experience. If you like games with action and more hand-eye coordination requirements, this is not for you. If you dislike reading, this is not for you. But all things said, I would highly recommend it, if only because it's a one of a kind game, which is a blessing in this age of tired clichés and endless clones.

Any recommendations for Inquisitor? Or warnings to stay away? Looks interesting but some reviews here are pretty harsh. RPG Codex also hated the game, but I'm curious if only for completing the bundle.

Also, is the developer still offering Steam keys if you buy the game on GOG?

Ehhh, not really lucky. I don't want either one. I'd also much rather get Valdis Story, it's one of my most-wanted titles this sale.

Do any of you guys think there will be a community deal with Bloodrayne? Else i might just grab it during the regular sale.

The Regular Sale will last till Dec 29, so why don't you wait a few more days to see if Bloodrayne will pop-up in a bundle?

http://www.gog.com/forum/inquisitor/this_game_is_really_bad has some strong opinions in both directions.

And my answer is; Greatly. I'm one of those people who sees Video Games as a new art form. You can tell stories in games in a way you just can't in other mediums.

I guess you've sold me on this. I'll buy it :)

There is no promo for Guacamelee :/

Yeah, that's what i was thinking of doing.

looks like people are either fustrated by the erratic bland combat or the badly translated dialogue. anyone know if the dev or even any fans have attempted to clean up or fix the dialogue since those past reviews?

http://www.gog.com/forum/inquisitor/english_translation/post2 is the current state of affairs, I believe.

Just when I thought I was done....50 games in, but that still wasn't enough. Now really, REALLY hoping that the non-winning bundles are presented before the sale is complete.

Have there been any adventure bundles put up yet? .Cant find the thread that listed the previous bundles..
