Question about replaying...

[Maerd]

From what I've learned, the game is too short for it's price for me. Some people say that it might be compensated with high replayability. So far, I've seen only two games where replaying an RPG game was essential to get full experience of the game. One is The Witcher 2 and the second one is Age of Decadence. In those games it's just impossible to experience all content in one playthrough. And by the content I mean a story, a narrative. Flavor choices are not different content, i.e. if you choose this that character will die but the narrative will be the same. Ability to solve the same quest differently, i.e. kill the all vs talk them out, is also not a different content. Different content means different quests and different story lines, i.e. if you chose faction 'A' then you will have those faction specific quests and you won't see other faction related content and the narrative branches to be completely different. Playing as a different class or type of characters is also not a different content if the narrative is 99% the same. So, where does the Tyranny stand regarding replayability?

And no spoilers, please.

definitely not replayable to your standards(not that I'm knocking them)

This is no Age of Decadence no.

PS Have you tried Dungeon Rats yet? I've bought it a couple of days ago and plan on playing it at some point soon. I mean sure it's supposed to be a combat game, but it's still set in the AoD world and with AoD2 still rather unlikely, I'll get whatever I can get.

There is at least one area you can't visit depending on your choices. That seems to be the extent of it. The rest seems pretty cosmetic (kill faction A instead of B over and over).

It's not AoD.

Thanks everyone for clarification.

Have you tried Dungeon Rats yet?

Nah, I don't like pure dungeon crawls. In RPGs I value the story first and foremost.

with AoD2 still rather unlikely, I'll get whatever I can get.

Well, I guess after 10 years of development of AoD they want a little break. I don't blame them. For me AoD2 is not that important if they make a game in some different setting butwith similar quality with that crazy branching. We'll see.

There is not much of replayability.The first 5-15(depends on the reading speed) hours are essentially the same.Only difference is if they call you a queen slayer or something else.The worst thing is that the writing is very mediocre and predictable if you have read or played a lot of fantasy books and games.I was predicting the unbroken quest line 10 hours before knowing that there will be unbroken quest line(My prediction was like 95% accurate).I wouldn't recommend buying the game.At best it will leave you with "That was ok game" feeling.If you are like me (Love a good rpg and a good book ) it will feel you with strong feeling of a disappointment(As a fen of Obsidian the disappointment is double).
