An RPG that simultaneously toes the line of humour, philosophy and politics. There are some really heavy themes at play here, interspersed with moments of hope and humour. This game is great, wholeheartedly recommend.

Preface - My playthrough was shorter than the amount of content available in this game (which is vast), I primarily focussed on companion quests, trying to do the side quests that took my interest and progressing the main quest when I felt like it.

This game is one of the best RPGs I've ever played - the level of choice and content is absolutely insane, with a narrative that ropes you in and builds in urgency towards the end. There are numerous arcs that are absolutely engrossing and all have satisfying payoffs.

Combat is relatively good (I played on the Story difficulty because I wanted a primarily narrative experience) - it rewards forward planning but has enough elements to allow you to adapt to changes in a unique and rewarding way.

The companions here are great - for my playthrough I went with The Red Prince (who had one of the most rewarding arcs and was probably my favourite here), Ifan (he added some interesting world-building and a good moral compass at certain points with key insight into certain plot-points) and Fane.
Fane is basically a must pick imo, as his story and arc completely recontextualises the main narrative - it is hard to imagine the story without him and the reveals his presence brings.

Overall, this game was a great experience, enough to make me leave a review, super fun RPG (although it might not be for everyone, due to the turn-based combat), amazing narrative with multiple intriguing plot threads and companion arcs.

Gmod is a game that has barely any rules or guidlines.

Pros:
-Thousands of addons that expand the game.
-TTT (one of the best gamemodes ever)

Cons:
-Require CS:S or HL2 if you want all textures.
-DarkRP ('roleplay' servers)

All in all Gmod is worth it if you want to mess around. If you want to go on RP servers get a mic.
