A keen mind or charming wit can prove just as useful as a sharp sword and mighty spells, and your decisions have the power to shape how the story unfolds in this modernized yet retro take on the genre. Build your character to face obstacles the way you want. There’s always an alternative to combat: charm NPCs, pick locks, harness forbidden knowledge, and more…
