I’m really enjoying it so far. I’m solidly in the middle of Act 2 and about to start The Winter March part 1.

I’m playing it on my Steam Deck and I’m really liking how I’ve got the controls set up. I grabbed a community template and made some additions of my own. I added a virtual menu for the left trackpad and changed the right joystick to handle scrolling long text and menus.

The story is good and I’m hanging in there on Easy. I figured I’d end up going down to the Story difficulty.

    I actually loved Tyranny more, but act 3 is seriously rushed. Also new game+ is meh at best.

      Tyranny was such a fun game (rushed act 3 aside). I really wish we’d get more games that explore being the bad guys without:

      • Immediately trying to overthrow them
      • Making it into a joke/comedy

        True true. We need more anti-heroes.

          No no no, see that’s the opposite of what I want. I want more games where you can just straight-up be the villains. Not an anti-hero, not someone who’s trying to change the system from within, not a secret rebel who needs to go along with the bad stuff to keep their cover.

          I want more games where you can just be a villain. I want more games where you can rob the banks, kill the NPCs that aren’t listening, have a big fortress of doom, and fight-off heroes who are trying to stop you.

          Not because of some gray moral backstory that somehow justifies some of it (or that will have people jumping through hoops to justify it like with Mr. Freeze and his wife).

          Just because you can.

          Tyranny gives you a bunch of options to just be evil and not enough RPGs do that properly.

            Ah, I misunderstood you. Yeah, it would be refreshing to see that as well.
