I am playing Draconis and am really enjoying it, I can't believe the mediocre ratings this game has gotten from some sources (basically the UK/US sites which also underrated the Gothic series and Two Worlds).
In my opinion this game is as good as Fallout 3 and the Gothic series - I like it more than Dragon Age or Mass Effect 2 (which are both excellent games!)
Things I like:
- The bossy women in this game! From Rhode to Talana who comment on your actions
- Openness and difficulty, like Gothic you can go everywhere, but you can get beaten up pretty easily, until you level up and return
- Your Pet, creating and modifying your creature
- You can fall without dying - takes out the tedium of reloading after your basejump from the tower goes wrong
- The dragon knight somersault jump!
- The different weapon and armour types
- The jokes and funny comments!
- Mindreading - I mindread everybody, you sometimes get fascinating comments even though it's pointless for XP
- You can search chests/loot with your weapon drawn - most games make you pointlessly sheath your weapon to loot!
- English versions only: The accents!
It's nice to hear UK regional accents from Scouse to Birmingham, Welsh and urban London in the game! North American players may have to play with subtitles on though...
Congratulations to Larian and am looking forward to the add-on and sequels.
