I just finished. It was excellent, and I say that as someone with very high expectations of rope kid. It's a feast of a game, made with obvious love. Congratulations to the whole team.

I'm in Act 3, and chose the 'Barbs' background expecting to just be sassy, and immediately go 'nobody would care if any of you fuckers died and you probably wouldn't even get graves', lmao. Incredible.

Excellent detail: in act 1, Anna stole my hat and I never got it back. In act 2, she is wearing the hat, now a little the worse for wear.

The game has a black greyhound that you can pet. GOTY I really like how the text is displayed. I'd struggle with some of the fonts, but seeing them "written" makes them much easier to read.

Reading Eco's The Name of the Rose and playing Pentiment made me realize just how little I know about medieval Europe. Since this is game for history nerds, does anyone have any book recommendations on the subject? Also, the game rules.

Took a little break after the first act, started up the second act and all's going well, have an encounter with the Anchoress.... "Sister Amalie, is that hole your grave?"  If nothing else, this game made me aware of something I never, ever knew existed and it blows my mind learning about it.

Since this is game for history nerds, does anyone have any book recommendations on the subject? "The Cheese and the Worms" by Ginzburg is a good 'un. Anything by Jacques Le Goff. "Montaillou" by Leroy-Ladurie is also great, and much like Pentiment deals more with the daily life of ordinary folks than battles, sieges, knights and so forth.

I really like "A Distant Mirror" by Barbara Tuchman. It's very readable. It partially follows a minor noble through the earlier parts of the 14th century, and how he gets involved in all the stuff going on (the jacquerie, the papal schism, etc.)

So like just to make sure - if it's meal time, I can gently caress around and talk to whoever, and the only way to advance time is to go to the meal? I wanna talk to everyone and poke around but I don't wanna be late for meal with the duke  Big same, game

there definitely seem to be some quest flag issues in act 2, at least i've seen a lot involving investigating guy, where I couldn't tell the abbot that Guy knows that I investigated him. the lady at the church also repeated her lines from the prior day to me. good rear end game though

Ngl I feel like this game achieves what ppl claim Dragon Age 2 achieves but very clearly does not. If you want to do small scale role playing, cut out the power fantasy entirely

Basic Chunnel posted:Marx’s insights concerned post-Agrarian economy, bro I mean my admittedly pretty novice marx understanding is that marx and especially engels did study a lot of the real peasant revolts mentioned and lightly fictionalized in the game, and their failures were basically one of the reasons they concluded revolution would have to come from urban proletariat rather than the peasantry. So there is quite a bit of connection there, but yeah not sure if it's the kind the OP had in mind No Mods No Masters fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Nov 17, 2022 |

I mean Marxist as in the examination of history as analyzing events through the lens of the relations of socio-economic classes
