An old game with antiqued mechanics and visuals - yet strangely compelling.

Reminds me a lot of one of its contemporaries - Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption. Similar to that game in terms of gameplay, the party system, progression and graphics.
Although the combat system has a lot more depth in this game.. or at least, its various mechanics gel better together and the AI has a slightly better idea of what to do.
As a result, there the narrative drives the game, whereas here the actual RPG mechanics do and the gameplay seldom feels like too much of a grind.

Nice lore. Very nice lore actually.. Pillars of Eternity devs - play this game and take some notes. This is how you build a unique and captivating game world.. not the real-world rip off you guys came up with complete with modernisms and a helping of neo-liberalism.

When you play this game, make sure not to skip through all the dialog and descriptions. Allow
yourself time to read through everything, and get immersed into the experience. That way you'll get the most from this game.
