I'm not one for writing long verbose reviews on games.
What I do like
• It isn’t a button masher.
• You don’t have a ridiculous about of hit points.
• You don’t get an abundance of magical items.
o Each weapon/armor has its own strengths and weaknesses.
Yes, chainmail will not be much help against blunt weapons.
• Streamlined character advancement.
• Tactical combat.
What I don’t like
• They created a great story and didn’t do enough to tell or immerse you in it. (Biggest crime in any game for me.)
o It’s a civil war.
No one defects from the army to join you?
You have a spy master, why not some spy missions.
• Peasant uprisings before you attack?
• Poison a garrison’s food?
• Second part of the Adamant Fortress mission.
o I mean come on.
• The game is more of an expansion pack versus a sequel
• Unable to rotate the camera.
I did like the game. It needed to be longer with more immersion. The battles could be a bit harder. I don’t mean just adding more HP to enemies. Some of the battles seemed to be more of a test of endurance and brute force. I would love to see another game. I also would like to see them make a WH40k Dark Heresy game. Based on the PnP books like they did with Dark Eye. The game’s combat system would fit.
On a side note. I’ve never understood setting traps in during a battle in any game. Wouldn’t they see you? Is Dark Eye really that complicated?
Anyone else's thoughts?
