I, the Forgotten One

I love this! This game takes into consideration whether you are tall, short or average height, and which equipment you have in one on one combat, for one. It also does a great job at portraying how medieval forces fought, tactics and strategy-wise and what logistics were involved, including the grim cost of simply marching troops during bad weather. Also, it actually treats it as surprising to the individual people when you, be it as a woman of average height or a small guy for example, take command of a troop of people. Because you are underestimated at first glance. Which you can, btw, play into and actively use to your advantage. You are very railroaded along the plot though. Within that, you get to play around, but it is very much a story with choices, rather than an adventure you shape. Which doesn't mean you don't get to influence not only how battles go, but also maybe who sits on which throne in the end.

I didn't know it was physically possible to misunderstand combat ptsd this bad and turn it into something this absolutely edgy. This writer clearly was doing some self insert and has some stuff going on and I'm quite annoyed they made me suffer through it too. I spent the whole entire game trying to figure out when and how I would possibly get the choice to have my character act remotely normal for two seconds but it never came, and everyone around me played tumblr support group instead of doing what would have happened in any reasonable setting and immediately removing the entirely unstable person from command or at the very lest not trusting a single thing I said. It also repeatedly has to shove the same ham fisted edgyness down your throat in the exact same ways over and over again. There's not too many choices that actually matter and it feels pretty linear in regards to the story, which may or may not be a huge con and I didn't care too much about honestly. What did irk me is it...
