A messy end to the saga, but a decent conclusion.
A return to the slower pacing and minesweeper-like choices of the first game, it really improves as the game goes along, but still… kind of disappointing. And yes, most of the problems of the previous games are still here. Combat is the same, and the new additions are basically worthless to none.
The writing at times felt off, like for example Hakon and Fasolt getting mad for taking orders from Oddleif, because she's human. Kinda weird since the past games they only took orders from you, a human. I also noticed an inconsistency with the Horsebornes talking like humans during the fights, even though they don't speak the tongue. It was pretty funny, though.
Pretty good end to the story, nonetheless. Glad it didn't leave anything left to uncover, pretty much every question gets answered satisfyingly. I do wonder how this would've been if I didn't make the choices I made on the previous games, though. I can't imagine it been as good if I didn't keep some of the more interesting characters, but maybe it would be. Guess I won't know until I replay it.
★★★ – Good ✅
