Could be one of the best CRPG's ever when completed

[Razorbaz]

I'm not a big fan of the modern CRPG stuff like BG3, the Divinity aesthetic really threw me off and it didn't feel like the Forgotten realms setting like the old BG games did. But this looks right up my alley, so i'm looking forward to the end result. Just out of curiosity how many hours of playtime is the EA currently, and how many hours will the final product be?

Hey thanks man, happy to hear you're digging how it's shaping up.

The first month of early access is finishing and was mainly for feedback and balancing a few hours of content in these 1.0 of the map here:

So we think these two maps provide a few hours of content once you figure out what's going on with the systems, though other players here may better assess that.

I couldn't say exactly how long it will be until that map is filled in but I'd guess at least a 30 hour experience depending on what a player does, for travel and volume of quests and content. All travel is manual and any 'fast' travel is diegetic with boat-caravans needing to be found, so it's more of an adventure experience than a content-checklist gorging one.

By the end there are ~6 villages as quest hubs that have their own day/night cycles to mess around with and various outcomes and endings depending on how events unfold and/or how much collateral damage the player has done. Creating 4 characters that can't access all the abilities/content is meant for some replay if one wanted to see more or putz with other systems.

The large balance update is out this week and then we're cruising to integrate the maps into the early access builds for a final release next year.
