    Looks like a very different and fun RPG. I'll definitely check that out at some point.

    hmmmmmm- Looks like its right up my alley.

    No time to play now but I might pick this up to play ovey the winter.

    Thanks. I'm so out of the loop right now on gaming that I would probably have missed this except for the thread title here.

    D&D is about as far from this game as you can get.  This is far more of a adventure-CYOA with rpg elements and replayability and near zero combat or actual combat systems/mechanics.

    I think the game is okay so far, but I much more prefer games with more game and less reading.  Torment was heavily criticized but was very similar and had far, far more game in it than this.  I have no idea how someone could like PST, hate TToN, and still like this game.  It boggles my mind.

    I also much prefer the recent Hero-U to this, another recent, similar example in goal with far more game to it.

    Is it good?  I guess.  $40 good?  I guess, for me at least.  For everyone else who mainly sticks to AAA shit games, I'm just having a hard time understanding their love for this.  It is literally 90% reading.  My test builds for the first day show little difference it how choices and builds pan out.  And on other forums I am seeing people who slammed TToN for having too much text and reading love this game for the same?  Is it the hipster emo dialogue?  I'm just not getting it.

    I'll just have to chalk this up to the Undertale phenomenon for an older, more hipster audience.

    Not sure what to say for this. Some people have no problems with the "written word." Not a hurdle.

    Just because people can read and don't mind it, doesn't make them hipsters. What an odd thing to say?

    This looks cool in every possible way, except me not getting to dress like John Travolta.

    Thanks to this thread, I've added DE to my Wishlist.  (I just cleaned up my wishlist, now it's growing like a weed again).  $40 is too much for my meager gaming budget to deal with, but I'll jump on it once there's a 50% (or better) sale.  So, in-game in about a year!

    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    The old wishlist got hit twice today.  I also added Six Ages: Ride Like the Wind.  It seems similar to Thea The Gathering and Thea 2, a village/survival/god game.  Both SA:RLtW and DE released this week, so it seems to have been a pretty good week, especially for people who enjoy reading.

    Dang I avoided it based on the name (thought it was some competitive game for some reason), now I'll probably be picking it up this weekend. Looks really good.

    Beware, this game has a Chinese localisation.
