And I’m done! A cool ending. The endgame isn’t as interesting as it should be and the game’s quest design is never good enough. Fun fights though and a really cool map to be in, as well as a cool actual ending sequence.

This end game is so conceptually cool. Seems like the last game’s map is hidden here? Very cool. Decayed and broken. That’s clever.

The not being able to save apart from marching time sucks, as the content is y dynamic enough or worth repeating. The quests are busywork and the content doesn’t match the structure.

So there’s a wild 40 hour in late title card hidden in the secret ending? Glad this game is mad. Was worried it wasn’t going to be.

Unmoored world cool but I r really hate fighting Saurians.

Unlocked the final vocation, which rules. Decides it’s endgame time. That colossus thing is cool but the fight is a pain. I’ve now done two endings — killed the dragon — now for the secret ending, which is goofily hidden in a way I like.

Empress assassination quest annoying. Scripted stuff has limitations but the wider game is great

Pretty much uncovered the map. Still FUN.

And I’m away for a week so big session. Maxed out warrior and now onto magic spear hand. Fun main story stuff and some lovely exploration. Map is interconnected in cool ways. A ruined castle rose from the sea.

Poking around in the new zone. It’s coooool.

Exploring the woods. An amazing dungeon and then discovered the elven arbor… and the game’s language system and separate upgrade rules.

There’s so much here and it’s so great, and unshowy about its brilliance.

Wow.

I did the quest stuff to unlock the next area. Some nifty stuff in there but quest design isn’t in always in concert with gameplay design. Then I thought I’d explore the edges of the map…

That’s where cool stuff is. An ancient battleground; a ruined castle; a multi level dungeon…. A sphinx!!! Then into the misty marshes.

That was wild as my main pawn had fell. I just needed to find a way shrine to get him back. I plodded on. My other two pawns fell and then it was just me. I locked in and tanked a few desperate battles, fought my way out to a way shrine and headed back in as I needed main pawn for a quest.

Then I headed out again, boss in the marshes was cool, as was a dungeon that kept going. Now I’m in a malachite forest.

This game is special. The adventuring is incredible, the moments in between that come from the game’s decisions to create friction. Oh it rules.

Highlight today was a flight with a chimera that got gatecrashed by a lich… hard but awesome.

Did the thieves assault course, explored almost all the first area. Fought a gross dragon. Loada cool stuff. Now some main quests, I guess.

Oh, I levelled up fighter all the way and now am doing warrior… such a different game. Getting used to it.

Accidentally scrapped my best sword for fighter then it autosaved. Guess I’m staying as warrior.

At the end, I was chilling in capital and a cyclops attacked. Madness.

Love every moment playing this, just our adventuring, spiralling moments. You find lots of cool stuff while the world still has space. Some quests that make you actually engage your mind, too, not just follow the objective marker.

And I’m still so early, just been exploring and doing ephemera.

Level 22.

Hehehehehehehehe. I like this a lot.

Yes.
