I seriously don't get why this is so popular. Constant discussion, a hundred mostly 5 star reviews. Are you all playing a completely different game? Because the one I played is just a threadbare tedious grindfest with slave training that is actively aggravating because it's completely based on dice rolls that my character almost always fails. What the hell are you all seeing in this game?
and you stated your problem, you are scared of the grind and the dice rolls depends on your stats!
there is a dice roll option where if you save scum and have the minimum skills
you can get all the positive results thus denying the need to grow your stats!
so basically the reason why you don´t enjoy the game is either your lazyness to increase stats
or your low level of frustation to resilience to just save and try and try again until you get the desired results!
1 to 2 pages previous to this there was a save cheat where you can increase your stats and wealth!
so you either lack selfawareness on what ticks you off and what you enjoy,
or you are just bitching for attention! whatever it is, its on you not on the game!
the game concept is great, the story and lore work well enough, yes its a slave trainer game!
what the people who play this game see is easy, its a grindfest that rewards endurance!
it gives a proper story and lore that makes it meaningful
so perhaps its not your cup of tea, move along if thats the case!
2 of my favourite other games are evil2 and lom 2 totally diferent games,
but both with proper lore and worldbuilding, basically only thing they have in common!
so what ticks me off is well written story in a well built worlds with proper implemented rpg concepts!
so, whats your problem with this game?
i´ve told you 2 ways to adress the grindfest,
the threadbare is only because you have not read the descriptions
cause its far far deeper then 99.5% of all other options on this site!
but only if you read the stories!
