Probably my favorite RPG since Dragon Age Origins (which Tyranny reminds of quite a bit as well!). Although it is quite short compared to DAO and other full retail games and I felt like the pacing and length of the third act was disproportionately extensionally fast and short, respectively. Also I wish your companion/side characters could have been fleshed out more, had more dialogue you could engage them with, and that the mechanic of complex reputation effects via dialogue choices (which overall was one of my favorite parts about the game, and think its a great improvement to the classic meter of good/evil reputation effects) really played a more biting role in the actions you could/could not take and how certain characters would or would not cooperate with you...like yes this was present but I felt it could have been stronger and more branching.


But despite everything Im saying here I would highly recommend the game. Its many choices that completely split how you go through the game create great replay value, and I really hope Obsidian makes the sequel they blatantly set up with the ending of the game.
