I fully understand how and why this game ended up appealing to such a wide audience. It's just that good, that almost anyone can pick it up and enjoy it. The visuals are great, the writing is great, the characters are memorable and the game play is engaging and at a lot of times really fun.

If you are familiar with how Dungeons&Dragons works in the slightest then this game should be easy to pick up and follow. It can be played completely with your mouse on PC, so it's not hard at all. It can be played at your own pace or with friends, with quick saves readily available if you decided you didn't like the outcome of your choices. The development team is very dedicated to updating the game with patches and fixes, as players discover more and more they can do in the game. There is limitless possibilities to how you can play the game, with a great amount of replay value and changes and secrets and variations - there's just so much content!

I'm not even done playing the game my first time around and I'm already 100+ hours into the game. If you're like me and like to be a completionist and very thorough in clearing the map and doing everything you can do, finding everything, every fight, NPCs to talk to, and hidden secrets then there is going to be a lot of content to tide you over for quite sometime. It's refreshing to have a game with so many routes and repeatability as well as a fairly long story.

And yeah, the fact you can have intercourse with a variety fantasy scenarios and candidates defiantly adds to the overall experience appeal for sure. I've bought this game 3 times now, once for myself, once for my friend and once for my mom. They all love it too. If you haven't played it yet, you need to, and don't forget to pet the dog!
