The game looks great, and the premise is nice. But has a long way to be better.
1. The interface of character selection only has disadvantages for certain characters, but not advantages.
2. You can only choose characters instead of the species. Basically, I want to control a Kobold, but the male Kobold is scrolling to the right instead of having a sex selection.
3. I start without a guide or tutorial. Basically, I am at a village with instructions about how to move and interact. But I don't know how to plant, sell, my equipment, my stats, craft, cooking, and I seem to not have a way to craft something that isn't walls, a fire pit, or doors.
4. Limited amount of resources: Cut down a tree and obtained nothing, cut down another and obtained a sapling.
5. Time passes when speaking. AI always wants to continue talking, so it could be inconvenient.
6. Hunger and thirst bar are down instead of up. Ate a sweet roll thinking I was hungry.
1. The racial advantages and disadvantages don't matter too much, not that I play with them much with Blair. Though you can consider the disadvantages as a difficulty setting I guess? Or just make a custom character and choose all racial advantages if it really bothers you.
2. If you want a male kobold, select Remy. If you want a female or herm kobold, select Nimo and choose. Otherwise, make a custom character.
3. No guide for the small things is a fair criticism, but also try to learn and figure out those small things. Some patience is require when learning a new game.
To plant turnip seeds or saplings, Use it from Inventory. You can sell some items to NPCs that have Trade option available while in conversation. Also sell by putting specific items in the market crate and waiting, you'll get a letter with money in the next day or two. Your Equipment/Inventor, Stats, and Actions are in menu tab, access by I key. U key for Actions like Construct to make buildings. There isn't really much "crafting" in this game, but you can craft potions with an Alchemy Table. Rosalyn has one you can use or you can buy one form Aldric. Upgrade weapon and armor with Runestones and scrolls which can be bought from Aldric. Repair tools with Metalwork Table, also sold by Aldric. You can cook simple cooked meat from animals you kill, otherwise buy or be given other foods from NPCs.
4. Trees aren't a resource since they don't give you anything worth having. No wood for crafting, not from my experience. Saplings just grow more trees, mostly for looks. You can only buy planks form Aldric. (I'd like to see a saw tool and logs from trees so we can make planks in exchange for wasting time cutting trees and crafting.)
5. I don't think in game time passes in conversation, but you can go to Settings tab in your menu and deselect Realtime Mode to make it turn based so you have more time to plan and do things in a day.
6. In one game a hunger bar can be full and go down. In another game the bar can be empty and fill up. Adapt and learn to play the game.
