Reading through my recap I realized how negative it sounded.... I'm sorry about that, you know how it goes. We wouldn't be on these forums if we weren't already your biggest supporters haha, so it seems like all the good things go without saying. That said I know that it can be more important to hear the good than the bad at times, so here goes.
The entire game was so good that I couldn't even begin to make a note of each and every part that amazed, inspired, excited or just made me laugh. None the less I will give it a try .
First off I love the way you guys dealt with classes, making it something that you have to interact with and having a mentor, genius!
The dialogue is so witty that I find myself constantly laughing or giving a good guffaw (sometimes while surrounded by people as I wear headphones while traveling)
Bringing back old school style is more than just graphics, and you guys see this. Given your budget and situation you never disappointed me, you brought a focus on a well thought out story line full of interesting imaginative and insightful characters that the gaming world has been missing. Your emphasis on the game as a means to move the story forward, rather than the story as a means to move the game forward, is one of the first steps in the right direction that I have seen in gaming in a long time.
What most impressed me, and what I didn't expect, is the way that you did what games have been promising and failing to deliver on for decades, you brought coherent realistic and tangible moral ambiguity to a video game. By making the hero gain infamy (which helps in game play) by being ruthless cunning or ballsy AKA infamous, but at the same time killing the hero if he does anything outright stupid you are forced to run a gauntlet between becoming feared and making friends. The way you play the grey line on morality, and veer away from the current standard of black and white is like an oasis in the desert that has become gaming.
Thank you once again, I look forward to my next 20 playthroughs haha
Goodnight!
