But that’s not all, friends. The new topic system adds strategy by allowing players to use conversation fragments to gain an advantage on the battlefield. Do you consider yourself a talker? Talk to the locals and you might tip the scales in your favor when push comes to shove. Don’t forget about the Alignment system, which allows you to change Van’s attributes, affecting everything from his statistics to the alliance and even the plot itself. Let’s talk about player independence!
The game takes place in 1208 and begins with Van’s chance meeting with a prim academy student. From this point on, the game becomes a rollercoaster ride through the grimy back alleys and glitzy high society of Calvard. The Republic may be experiencing an economic boom, but tensions simmer beneath the surface. Immigration is on the rise, political reform is in full swing, and Van is about to stumble upon a job that will be much more difficult than he bargained for.
As you navigate this powder keg, you’ll wear many hats. One minute you’re playing detective, the next you’re negotiating a dodgy deal, and before you know it, you’ll be hot on the trail of bounty hunters. For a spriggan in Calvard, this is all just a day’s work. Just remember that in this game the line between good and evil is not always crystal clear. So, are you ready to dive into the dawn and shape the future of a nation on the brink?
