I don't know anything about this game or it's predecessors.
Is it just a fantasy RPG or what's the hype all about?
How is it different from other fantasy RPGs?
Just like tabletop, the lawful good Paladin or Cleric in the party is just seething while the devilish rogue pickpockets anything in sight, alive or dead. It evokes the same feeling, and that’s what makes it great.
