Oh yeah, you’re right, and the side content is actually so good too. Very little worthless filler and fetch quests. The NPCs really are a highlight in this game, they’re so well-written. The Miller is amazing with his dumb bullshit about golems, and I loved the Striped Tonies!
They did the stealing thing really good. If you steal stuff and then immediately parade around in it in town, they will still go after you, because shocker: people recognize their own clothes.
It’s also one of the very few games I played where I enjoyed the horse riding.
I have played it a lot in the past. Used to log in again with every new update. But for some reason I haven’t touched it since late 2023. Just got a little busy with reading and other games. Though to be honest I can’t seem to work up the motivation to start it up again and I don’t really know why.
It has come such a long way since launch and I can only commend them for staying active for so long. The regular updates and expansions for a game that has no micro-transactions… it’s awesome. I would recommend at least trying it to anyone who’s even a tiny bit curious. Wait until it’s on sale and you can’t really go wrong.
Perhaps I will give it another go in the future. I can see I’ve missed a lot of new features.
