an ambitious game that absolutely stuck the landing. this game will return everything you put into it and fully realizes the world of Faerûn.
you are SPOILED with choice in this game and it actually, truly matters in game. that's easily the best part about it. characters i thought i'd forget in an hour return repeatedly in the story and my decisions shape their lives. how you approach an encounter can radically affect the larger story, the rewards, and difficulty. there are a few "unfairly punishing" choices imo, but the game is GENERALLY, pretty good at indicating "hey this is going to be difficult" or otherwise catastrophic. that's the half a star missing on the score. genuinely, it's the only thing i didn't like though.
i understand that the genre might not be everyone's cup of tea, but you absolutely should try this if you're an rpg or ttrpg fan.
