Just finished the game, and honestly my first, second and third thoughts are all just "wow". The game was a lot larger than I expected, and in a good way; I kept on being surprised by how much more there was to explore and people to talk to. The worldbuilding is just superb, especially for a free game like this. I always had a lot of fun just immersing myself in the world and exploring and talking to random people. I also liked how smooth the UI generally felt, both in combat and while just traversing the world.

One probably minor thing that I found interesting was that most enemies didn't seem to respawn. I actually found myself liking this mechanic, since each enemy I defeated felt like it was slow but permanent progress towards clearing out an area, and since I never felt like grinding was necessary (at least on normal difficulty) I could just pick and choose which enemies to kill and which not to (or even just skip them all entirely if I so desired).

I liked all the characters a lot; not just the main cast but also all the supporting background characters. I'll never be able to stomach doing an evil run since I'm too attached to everyone, and to me that's a sign of very good writing. In particular, I do like how the story does address Malayna's initial behaviour; I will admit she did make me a bit uncomfortable at the start, but after the conversations in her mansion she grew on me a lot.

The only real issue I have is how luck-based the combat can potentially be, and really this is just personal preference; I tend to prefer turn-based combat with less rng myself, but I understand that this is definitely not universal. As for an interesting positive with the combat, I've actually grown to like not knowing enemy hp bars, since it forces an additional layer of strategy - do I risk a weak blow that may not kill to conserve my mana/fury, or can I afford to play it safe and go for a strong attack?

To sum it up, I really really liked the game, and honestly would've been happy to pay like $15-20 to get it as a game on Steam or something. Just a very very very very very good game. Yay
