The Lots work like a sorting hat with every person given a lot in life. This world is marred by religious and social unrest, with particular issue levelled at the ideology of the Lots. You are the middle child of the family and not in line to inherit anything. You can give your character a first name but they are born into the Brante family, a lowly noble house in the Arknian Empire. It’s hard to talk about everything the game offers without getting into spoiler territory and it is really worth experiencing the story with fresh eyes. On top of personal stats, you have to manage your relationships, the family reputation and stats specific to one of the three careers you can choose. Those stats then combine in youth for the remainder of the game. Adolescence includes Nobility, Ingenuity and Spirituality.
Childhood and adolescence have 2 different character stats to work on which includes a Perception and Determination stat. Each chapter also adds new elements to think about. Mixed in with this are some RPG elements, such as character stats which can improve or decline based on your choices. You cover every major life event with 5 chapters to read through starting with childhood, adolescence, youth, peace time and culminating in revolt. You make choices while recounting the events of Sir Brante’s life from birth to death. I got more the 100 hours of fun out of this game and found the story so good that, in eight years that I own this game, I had multiple playthroughs, managing to beat the 100 hours gameplay mark.In essence, the game is told through an autobiographical book of your character. I personally experienced the issue and found the game playable very enjoyable. Luckily, the player may experience this issue in the first 30min of game, so, it shouldn’t be a reason not to buy it, because the game will still be eligible for refunding. The biggest issue is a camera stuttering glitch, which is experienced by a lot of players, and the fixes on the internet doesn’t solve the issue for everyone. It takes some time to get used to it and is easy to miss some quests because of it too.ĭespite its age (and plenty of time for fixes), the game still has some minor bugs. The interface is not the best either, especially around stats, and quest tracking. Some voice actors are bad but not the main characters, and, as a nice touch, there are two characters in this game that are voiced by the same actors in the show. Not a surprise at all since it uses the Unreal Engine. The graphics are very nice for a 2013 game. It’s fair to say the game has a good replayability if you liked the story plot in the first playthrough. And since the player can complete quests in different ways, it’s possible he/she doesn’t learn about every aspect of the plot in one single gameplay. Some quests can be completed in different ways and, sometimes, depending on the player approach, a trait (perk) is earned (just like in Fallout games), but the multiple solutions of quests don’t branch out the story – it’s a very linear RPG. It’s a pretty good story and the game worth’s playing by itself. Story wise, it’s Game of Thrones, which means you should expect a lot of backstabbing, violence, and plot twists. It’s not as hard as Dragon Age Origins combat, but in the “Lord” difficulty it will demand the use of potions and good combos to win. The combat happens in real time, with a slow time feature to choose abilities and decide tactics. Albeit being an RPG game, is heavy combat oriented, which means all abilities and skills are focused only on combat. It’s an RPG game, which means the player must administrate the distribution of points in stats (STR, AGI, INT, etc.), abilities, and skills. The game starts telling two different about Sir Mors and Sir Alister, two former knights that served under the banner of House Lannister during the Robert’s Rebellion.
