The dialogue options are fantastic, but at the same time it does feel like some were just thrown in as padding.
This is truly a game where decisions matter and a huge chunk of the cast here can either die or leave, depending on what is said and done. It certainly adds an intensity to the story, because things can go very badly at any moment and it would all be your fault. This game is absolutely brutal with its cast list, lopping off the head of one of your favourite fighters because the wrong line of dialogue was selected. Oh, and it will kill characters, as well. Decisions will impact how many people will join, how many supplies are gained, and the morale of the entire caravan. A lot of the time when a game offers choices in the dialogue, they are really offering "choices" where the decisions don't change much other than a couple of lines of dialogue. It is worth playing these just for the story, and even people who aren't interested in strategy titles but enjoy fantasy stories are absolutely going to want to dive into the tale that is told here.Īn interesting aspect of the story is the sheer number of decisions the player will make along the way. It is a truly riveting tale, and after all the build-up of the past two games, it is great to see such a remarkable conclusion. Something this does well is giving a personality to even the most minor of characters, and even a short little conversation here will give a lot of layers to someone that might be the fifteenth guy off the bench of your party. The writing is also excellent, and the cast of characters here are interesting and well developed. The plot itself is great, and so much time went into the lore and backstory that it is so satisfying when things all tie together in the end. This is an incredibly story, and a story that is told incredibly well.
This was true in parts one and two, and it is perhaps even truer here. It cannot be overstated just how good the story is. It is almost impossible to give a brief synopsis of everything because of how complex the plot is, but this is an epic tale in every sense of the word. Allies turn to enemies, enemies to allies, and the heroes' task here is to not only save the world but to make sure it is still worth saving when all is said and done. The caravan is split, with one party trying desperately to stop the last human city from collapsing in on itself, while the other party is venturing to the depths of darkness itself to try and reverse the cataclysm that has befallen the world. A reminder for anyone that doesn't quite remember the plot of the first two entries: things aren't going well.
