At first, I thought there were only three new scenes . . . but then advanced a day, and another day, and another day . . . and with each new day, more and more scenes appeared.
There's two hours of new content here, if you don't rush it.
The renders are remarkably vivid, and the facial expressions are subtle and apt. An artist is making these renders.
The story seems to be improvised. I don't think the storyteller started with a full outline. That can be ok, depending on the storyteller. Some great writers, such as Anthony Trollope, wrote his novels with only a vague understanding of how they would end. But long long ago, there was an elf . . . who has long vanished. And there was a guard named Lirah, who has long vanished. And there was something important that our main character had to do for the queen . . . something more than "menial tasks" that are merely an excuse to repeat the palace scene. And why are we visiting that solitary woman in the cabin? And there are so many factions . . . all with wonderful settings . . . but why does the story have so many? What, in fact, IS the story? It seems more to be a world, where this thing happens, and then that . . . all improvised without any clear story arc.
On the other hand, it might be that the time between updates is so long, and the story so complex, that it can't be followed very easily . . . the reader has forgotten most of the details.
But I still suspect the story is being improvised. We'll never see the elf, nor Lirah, again, nor that man who was beating his slave . . . and new characters are still being added, such as the new chief guard, an older servant who serves the queen. Why is she in there? Only because something needed to be improvised, it seems.
Well, I don't really need a story. Is a story needed?
The game provides a world, and many small stories that happen in that world. That's how it seems, and that can be fine.
But again, maybe there is a detailed outline that the writers are following, and the story is so involved that it can't be easily remembered for months and months. Maybe all will be clear when the game is done.
But if not, I still think the world is successful, and the characters strong.
