I rate 7/10
I rate 7/10. A solid isometric RPG with unusual story and engaging combat. Definitely worth a try for any fan of old-school western RPGs. Story + Unique and refreshing: forget your usual boring saving the world from The Evil Overlord - you will conquer it in their name instead. + Your choices actually matter. + High replay value thanks to the amount of choices. + Very detailed character creation system. ~ Solid, but straightforward. Don't expect plot twists or deep philosophical themes. - The last act feels rushed, some plot lines remain unexplained and unfinished. Let's hope that's a set up for a sequel. Combat system + Fun and complex, with a large and diverse set of abilities and status effects. + Active pause and fast/slow modes allow you to tune the speed of combat to your liking. + One of the most detailed magic spell customization systems I've ever seen. + A neat combat log with all the rolls and effects explained in detail. ~ Some spells/abilities combinations are really overpowered. I am looking at you, volcanic weapon accent. This + any weapon buff + Verse's Fury's Embrace = Fire Minigun of Instagib. - Balance is pretty skewed. The game feels challenging in the beginning, but gets too easy in the end (mostly due to the previous point). Don't play on anything lower than "Hard" if you want at least some challenge. Companions + Memorable and likeable. + Detailed backstories and dialogues. + A loyalty/fear system based on your actions. ~ No waifus. This is no Bioware date-sim, if you were expecting one. Appearance + Good graphics for an isometric RPG. + Animations are smooth, magic/ability visuals are nice and not overly flashy. + You can change the freaking font size! ~ Music is whatever.

Overal a very good CRPG
Overal a very good CRPG. A very short review. The Good: - Fun and engaging world. - "Evil" storyline done right. - Mostly good gameplay. See "The Bad" - The VO present is overall very good. - Countless little things that make it feel like a real RPG. The Bad: - Repetitive and uninpsired combat design. - Ending feels rushed. (Being fixed in expansion I've heard!) - Uneven usage of VO makes the dialogue feel off from time to time. - Many small things that prevent the game from being a masterpiece. If I had ot rate it I'd say 8.5/10. Obsidian made another game I truly love despite some flaws.

So, I often think of CRPGs as different GMs
So, I often think of CRPGs as different GMs. Balder's Gate 1 is kind of a crappy GM - they don't know how to really roleplay and their plot is kind of rote. But they did a TON of homework, so you can go anywhere and find something there. It may be kinda stupid, but it is there! Balder's Gate 2 is that GM, but they got better at writing and roleplaying. Now, characters are better written and the plot is more interesting! Planescape Torment is the dude who may railroad you, but they've got such a great plot and setting that you don't really care. Tyranny? Tryanny is the GM who watches as you walk into their carefully pre-written campagin of evil and chaos, with deep lore and politics in mind, and blink as you say: "So, I stab my ally in the back. All of them. At the same time." Tyranny blinks again. Then Tyranny smiles and says: "Okay, so, now, you find yourself working for..." Tyranny has some of the best choice based gameplay I've ever seen. Work for one side? Work for another? Work for a third? Work for yourself? Play people off one another? An amazing number of different choices lead to different outcomes. I've played the game three times and still haven't seen everything it has to offer. Add to that a fun, fast paced combat (which you can set to the easiest mode if you just want to enjoy the narrative) and my presonal favorite companion NPCs, and you've got one of the finest RPGs out there. Plus, you can do drugs with grandpa Lantry and have fun for the whole family!
