Sure seems like a ton of work went into this. Really impressive. Many locations, many quests to go on, and tons of things to do at your house with and without slaves.
There are also many things that could be improved. For instance, when you turn off the sound under settings, you would think that the sounds would be turned off. Most sounds are, but not all.
The grind factor is way up there as well but others have mentioned that a lot and I kinda like games with lots of grind.. My experience w the dexterity stat, for example, was that I worked on it twice a day for 10-15 days for a 2 point bump. I tried a few different things, but it still seemed almost pointless to try to raise any of my stats at all.
The game is setup so the MC has a distinct disadvantage in most everything. When you click on Raiders for example, you don't know how many there are, what weapons they have or anything and you can't back out of it, so basically it's a suicide mission every time which means you get robbed as well. Of course if you hire the mercenaries to go with you, you will win sometimes but it doesn't really seem worth it.
Again, I got my stats up some, in the low 40's I think, but still had to shoot at 1 enemy a good 10 times. Almost all shots missed by 1 inch. I noticed the enemy didn't miss. Since ammo is sooo expensive, it's not worth fighting, especially since you can't aim in this game.
My slave that I 'rescued' was mad at me the whole time and didn't do much. So it seems the only punishment is to tie them up to the rack and spank them or slap them, which didn't do much in my case. Again, I'm probably just playing it wrong.... I ended up just leaving her tied up on it hoping she would go ahead and die but she never did.
Seems like the main thing this game needs, other than the sound fixed, is just some tweaking of settings to get the balance of power to a more equal footing. It's such a great job otherwise. Just seems like after a while you just kind of give up. Also, you have to play the game a bit before you can even change the sound or other settings, I think. Sorta weird.
Anyway....just a couple thoughts.... I'm going to try again and I'll come back and edit this if/when some of this changes....or I figure it out.....
