Disclaimer:

This game is big. Way big. And I’ve played it for a few hours now and am absolutely in love with it. So if you’re reading this, be aware that I will be going through this and I will be talking about a lot of the story points. That said, this game has a lot of branching paths so chances are if you’re planning on playing it, you may see an entirely different journey and most definitely a very different ending.
 
I also won’t be talking about the battle-system very much, because If I do I will never ever stop writing. It is very customizable—as should be expected from an strategy rpg—and it rewards a lot of different playing styles and tactics. If anyone wants to know more specifically, I’ll be glad to share.
 
Now then…

 
Let Us Play Together Part 2 –

In which a game is set up, a duke is rescue and a hero is born…

Chapter 1: There is blood on my hands, how long till it lies on my heart?

 
We’ve met Ales, the hero. Let’s take a look at his two compatriots:

First, his sister Catiua:

She’s nineteen, likes long walks on the beach, healing magic, and generally acts as the voice of caution and reason; the real maternal type.  

 
 
 
Then there’s Vyce, the best friend:

 Vyce is 18, same as Ales, and a real hot-head.   He generally likes running off into battle heedlessly and is a real cry baby when things don’t go his way. But he’s got passion, and that’s what really counts.

 
 
 
 THE GAME BEGINS....
 
So a year before the game starts, our three protagonists home village is attacked. Dark Knights came, and generally did as someone with such an omnious sounding name is wont to do: they burned the village, killed a bunch of people—including Vyce’s dad—and ran off with Papa Pavel (Pavel is the last name of Ales and Catiua…not by my choice).  

 Now, they’re back. Or at least the guy in charge of the attack, Dark Knight Lanselot is coming to town. Naturally, Ales and his good ole’ buddy Vyce are ready to take action.  

 
 
 
 
 
Turns out it’s a case of mistaken identity. It’s a different Lanselot entirely, calling card: Holy Knight. 
 

Way different than a Dark Knight. He doesn’t even have an eye-patch! And who knew Lanselot was such a common name?  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 He and his troops want money and Ales and his friends want to save their kidnapped Duke.  A plot is made, a rescue begins. 

But not before Catiua sister expresses her concern. Ales is all she has left, she doesn't want to lose him.

All I could think at this point is “I promise that I will never die.” (Team America ftw!)

So we save the Duke and become heroes. He wants us to join his army, and Vyce jumps on the idea answering for all three of us: The Order of the Fox Den is born!

Our first task: Aid the Captain of the Knights, Sir Lenoar, take care of some Necromancer...
