    G'day ACG, Tim the audio lead from Broken Roads here. Thanks so much for your honest review of the game mate. We at Drop Bear Bytes are taking all critical feedback seriously and will patch ASAP to get any bugs encountered fixed. We will also be patching in more VO, sadly limited resources meant that VO had to be pushed to the back of the pipeline and I'm a one man audio team, so I've been playing catch up with the VO integration but much more is coming. The game won't be fully voiced as there is so much dialog and our resources simply can't accommodate it but I truly hope with the incoming fixes we can give you a better experience. Cheers again mate!

      This is a golden example of how to interact with the gaming community/critics/customers/potential customers. Other games could learn a lot from this.

    Just, thank you for telling the truth. I'm having a hard time finding reviewers who will bring up any negatives lately. Appreciate a reviewer on the side of gamers, instead of developers. If that means eventually having to buy your own copy of the game, at least you can sleep at night.

    Like many, I feel it would be more realistic to let the player jump between philosophies or moralities in the dialog choices. Being a full Humanist should not stop you, like in real life, to sometimes make a Machiavellian decision. This cool Moral Compass system becomes less cool, and criticised in negative reviews, when it serves to limit options (the passive penalty would be less Moral perks for example or some more radical choices being locked-out).

    One negative review (Steam) claims (and it is believable) that some dialog/story options are not truly accepted as they then railroad you (force you) to accept an important story path (main quest), so some options may be illusions of choice of course. Many players might not notice or just adapt, or accept that not all options are viable. Still, many claim the choice/consequence design is weak. I do not know how true that is. I still bought it to support the studio and I will have fun with it, accepting its limits.

    It's not every day I see a homegrown game like Broken Roads, and yet in it's current state I can't excuse buying it just to see how it plays. Who knows? Maybe in a few months, the devs will add more content, expand on old stuff and iron out the bugs. But it's a shame. I've been looking for more post-apocalyptic CRPGs lately, and I've already played ATOM RPG and Wasteland 2/3!

    To only have the characters talk every once in a while is how old games like BG1-2 and tons of other RPG's were made back in the day. It's like that so at least you get an impression of what the person sounds like and you can do the rest of the reading with that particular voice in your head, works really well.
