Why is a amazing experience?
For a long time i had looked for a good piece of interactive fiction, where the game don't ends when things are getting good, with your victory for example, but continue to expand our story.
War for the West is this. We create our character, and have plenty of ways to face most of everything who happens, and I belive that a good piece of interactive fiction must give to us plenty of Paths and Choices, and there's no lack of it here.
In most of this type of games, you don't have much freedom, the writer put two paths to you follow, white and black / good or evil, and that's all. Is really annoying when you find out that the game give you fake choices and "railroads" you, no matter what you do.

My Experience:
Is like if i'm reading a book of Crusader Kings 2, or watching a movie from the Lord of the Rings trilogy!
You ever wanted to be part of a complex fictional world, live adventures on it, raise a family, rise on power, conquer lands, etc. in a universe of lore who expands more and more?

Then you are rewarded, because the game allow us to carve the type of ruler we want to be, by evolving in three major stats, for examples:

A Wrathful Lord who rules with a iron fist [Combat]
A greed and wise leader who master in schemes. [Knowledge and Social]
A kind and fair noble concerned with the lifes and needs of the peasants. [Combat, Knowledge, Social]

Some approaches can use a bit of all these three, or are more focused in one of them, so you can unlock and lock certain paths with the decisions you make.

You can play fair, but if you want to cheat its possible too, the dev have put a cheat mode in the options section, so the players can have some extra fun with the game, its up to us if we want to use them or not, i love when such option is available ^^ , i'm sure most of the players knows about GTA cheats for example? It's what i'm talking about here, such thing bring another type and lvls of fun into a game.

So we are the carvers of our characters, we have a good amount of types of choices and paths to explore, its up to us choose which one we like more.

The path we starts here, is going to be continued in the next game, where our characters is going to gain even more development and depth, with new events to face, with also various approaches to them.

This game is one of my favorites on the field of interactive fiction from Choice of Games / Hosted Games.
Looking forward with enthusiasm to continue my rule in the coming sequel: "The Wake of the Wyrm"

Strongpoints:
+Choices and Paths
+Characters gets a good amount of development
+Well written Lore, which provides immersion and life to a entire fictional universe in expansion.
