Current state?

I'm curious Is there any replayability?How much content is there?How much playtime could I get?Enough for about 30-50hrs?Are there any dynamic/random/simulated elements?The game seems great but it's quite expensive for early access, so I'm curious if it's worth it already.

I'd say 60-80 hrs depending on how fast you read. There is some replayability as different factions are kinda mutually exclusive. Not sure what you mean by simulated/dynamic elements, but there is no procedural generated contend. Game is defo worth the price tag for the reading enjoyment alone, imo. Gameplay is entertaining to me at least, has still some holes and balancing issues tho.

Same question, I think he means are there AI elements that have their own goals, will cities change ownership, will there by progress improvements in cities like welcome to our new gladiator arena or gladiator arena not open do to slave rebellion or this city doesn't exist anymore because the leader y pissed off leader z and leader z burned it to ground type of thing.

nope, all change to the game world is done by the player or player influenced events.

this game is awesome. it is in alpha and currently has over 70 hours enjoyable playability. I am at over 97 hours. I am still having fun. Lots of stories and exploring.

they will be adding more to it and also DLCs. Buy it! Really

I would advise to wait until game release before playing the game.

It is better to start with the demo and play through the Pilgrims of the Wasteland adventure to get a feel of the game mechanics and lore. This is a text-heavy RPG with serious trading and planning elements. For those concerned with the price; at or near release they will be enabling the regional pricing.

> I'm curious Is there any replayability?

Not really. Eventually the Vagrus could get all the skills they want, the starting class/race just add a flavor to the game and a handful of dialogue options. Not enough to warrant a replay. As of the factions. I have very high tier rep with all the factions with presence in the game except one (the Carpenters). With the current content it is not worth it to replay just to try to get that faction high too

> How much content is there?How much playtime could I get?Enough for about 30-50hrs?

50 hrs yes. If you want to do all the quests. Probably twice that. But you'll need to find the sandbox aspect of the game fun too. The quests are nice but there are only so many of them

> Are there any dynamic/random/simulated elements?

Not that I have seen. Only thing random when it comes to content seems to be the encounters and some dialogues (Like what happens when you "Explore a town")

I think the most attractive part of the game for me personally is narrative, although that's not everybody's cup of tea. I usually just quickly get to 200 bross, and then wander round with quite a small comitatus (3-4 beasts of burden) doing quests and only doing some dedicated trading f the money runs low.

Although it does occur I'm holding hundreds of bross in treasures, jewels, necklaces, stone tablets, arcane texts even if the money did run out.

If you want to read through stuff, there are an awful lot of hours of play, with what I'm assuming is a small proportion of the play area available. Although it does make me wonder: I've done pretty much everything in the current play area, and it's taken 1200 game days (~3 years). Won't the player character die of old age before they can complete the continent?
