Bit overly reliant on humor in the smaller, interpersonal events sometimes but overall fine. Writing is stylistically charming and the way the dialogue changes based on your toons personality is kind of impressive. But I'm anal and always wanna complete a transformation once started while there is no obligation to do so and usually it's best not to. Mystics are a bit left out here because the only transformation that gives a potency/spell damage bonus is the skeleton. They also overlap with the transformations the game has, becoming part-mountain is good for warriors for example, crow is good for rogues. Individual builds are flexible, not crazily so but there's generally not 1 correct way of building a class type. On longer campaigns your most experienced heroes are generally your oldest and they'll start retiring around chapter 4/5 which can leave you with a bunch of green recruits for the hardest fights of the game, so you need to juggle between clearing more tiles to level them vs allowing the baddies to get more and more powerful. The longer your campaign is (ie three chapters vs five chapters makes a big difference) and the longer you take on the overland map (monsters get random boosts regularly, new cards get added to the decks and they also launch incursions to retake tiles) the harder your time will be.

Although I say this while micromanaging a family of heroes where the mom's a white raven, the dad's a werewolf and the son gave his heart to a giant forest creature.ĭifficulty works at two bisecting levels: the combat level and the campaign map level, you can adjust them independently. I would advise against micromanaging every aspect of your characters' story and kinda let stuff happen to see who you get attached to, sometimes it's surprising. Games are not meant to be finished, not for me at least, games are meant to be enjoyed. I could finish the game within 15 minutes, but it stopped being fun and I just stopped. End fight was boring shit, so I just stopped playing. I played D:OS three times but never actually finished it - even though the first time I reached the end boss. However, when you say something like 'Games are meant to be finished' telling others their ways of enjoyment are wrong and games should be done to YOUR liking, because you are the only one who gets it right, then you are an idiot. If people like their games casual and easy, fine, I can understand not everyone likes challenge. Do you also bitch how shit Dwarf Fortress is because you didn't win the game when you tried? Or that you didn't finish Crusader Kings 2 because not only you did not manage to conquer the whole world and convert everyone, but also you were thrown to prison, and died? Learning is part of the fun in this game, just like in many others.

The Void was made to be enjoyed, and I enjoyed it the first three times even though I failed miserably until I actually learned how to play.

Some of us actually like their hobbies and enjoy good games - including the challenge on the way - not just completing them like addicted junkies who just want to +1 their prestigious gaming experience. And since it was not very 'tangible' an annihilation (in the sense that the cultural death is not as tangible as the one caused by nuclear explosions), the consequences are more rooted in culture, art, and the psychology of people that are shaped by said art. While Fallout is a trauma gotten from a threat of nuclear annihilation (hence Fallout's more rational and detached approach), things like ATOM or You Are Empty are the result of a very real trauma, the annihilation of the Soviet world. Until then, people are gonna cherish these ruins, an epoch done and gone. It's too early to let the history go and move on. For Russia, apocalypse was very much real, and they're still getting over it. Psychologically, it's a much deeper topic than the western postapoc. People are kinda caught in the perpetual state of trance, reliving the realities of the time long gone (agitprop, social realism, the elements of everyday life). Usually, nobody is rebuilding anything in it. 'Russian fallout' is usually a setting soaked in Soviet nostalgia and the signifier of the era past. The one without any sense of direction or substantive replacement for the things that are gone now.Īs I see it, it's mostly an unconscious feeling that has to do with USSR's dissolution and Perestroika. The reason why 'fallout' is so 'popular' in Russia: It's not really Fallout as a franchise but rather the story of a world that has been destroyed.
