I'm a little worried about some of these characters being a little too much like one-dimensional caricatures.
Well ... the way they are described on the website serves to tease their storylines and kind of highlight what they're all about, but when you have more extended interaction with them, you'll find they actually aren't that one dimensional. Or at least I hope that'll be your experience.
The politicians especially, represent a 'type' of sorts - that is true - but not to a fault. The rough guideline that states something along the lines of 'dwarves are ultra capitalists', 'elves are green commies', 'lizards are libertarians', etc., works well to keep in mind on which side of any given debate they'd stand, but the guideline only goes so far. Sometimes they'll have opinions about subjects that will probably surprise you. Those will be the ones that deviate from the stereotype, but fit the character rather than what he or she represents (or is supposed to represent).
As for princesses and generals, their storylines are much more personal.
I'm not a huge fan of Ophelia's guilt-trip-inducing backstory. It's pretty much saying "Pick someone else and you'll condemn her to death. You jerk."
That's not quite how it's presented in-game.
I like the Shakespearean-themed naming of the councillors (particularly Yorrick
).
Aha! A fan of the Bard! I commend you, milady!
