    Battle Brothers 🙏🧙‍♂️ a true work of art, masterfully crafted with the utmost passion & soul... There is nothing that hits the itch that BB does. Tis my favorite game of all time, which I am always returning back to..
    Devs are working hard at their new game, MENACE... Only game I've allowed hype for in years.
    Its *akin* to Wartales, but both differ from one another a good deal. And Battle Brothers is just... Ah, so profound. The writing & art & sound & music.... Perfection.
    BB has a very dedicated modding community as well.

    I would not call Wartales open ended. after 80+ hours I can truthfully say that your decisions and morality do basically nothing and there are no gradated outcomes. it delivers on the feeling above all that you and your band don't have any real power, you're just deciding which name gets said at the end of the quest line and nothing in the region(s) really changes. Like, the very first storyline you do ends with genocide no matter which side you choose, there is no peaceful option no matter how much you can stomp both sides.There are no "knightly" approaches or "sneaky" approaches.
    Bad North I really liked, but I just have never managed to finish a game. It does it's one thing really well, but it really only does that one thing. well worth the price though at 80% off.
    OMD 3 and Northgard are 90% off? Well past time I picked those up

    • @taylorpeay8991

      I see what you are saying. But try having some imagination. Like think out your decisions for your own reasons. The world is supposed to exist without your merc troop. You are just a platoon. You don't really make "decisions." You decide based on value. Like what moral principles you agree with or what rewards you want. It's all open ended. Sure the story itself is static. But you arent. Just like in reality. No matter what you decide you will only just be an aspect. Not the catalyst.
