I read numerous rave reviews about the game and grabbed it recently, and I'm only at Cyseal, but so far the characters in the game have definitely been pretty whimsical and goofy. Like, all of them mostly.
Is that just how the game is? How can you tell a serious theme/story in that kind of environment?
Or is the entire game not like this? Should I just keep going?
Yes, definitely keep going...! There is
a lot to this game. It's not that the characters are "whimsical and goofy," it's that they have a sense of humor, a sense of wit. The plot is anything but "goofy," I assure you. If you don't continue it will be your loss (I'm on my fourth play through, eagerly awaiting the EE so that I can start again...!) You seem to be in the first 1% of the game, more or less, at the moment.
I've heard folks say the game isn't "dark enough" for them, but I happen to be among those who think a game doesn't have to play like a
funeral dirge before I can enjoy it.
We could explore topics like the necessity of a healthy sense of humor in overall mental health, and how it's basically the psychopaths among us who lack a healthy sense of humor, etc. But...let's don't...;)
