- “I love this game, it's very enjoyable and fun, with an interesting story and likeable characters.”

- “Just make sure that when you accept a quest to really pay attention to where they tell you to go because if not you may have to wander around until you find what you are looking for.”
- “While your story seemed ok but too long to get into at start, it is 100% bs that you have no way to rest at an inn or generate funds to recover.”
