    Me playing Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon recently.

    Sidenote, that game is FUCKING AWESOME. Holy shit. It’s Skyrim but at home but if it were darker and just as enthralling. Also King Arthur. Hnng.

      I really need to look into that. I liked the setting in the original Tainted Grail board game but hated the difficulty level. If I remember correctly, you fail a skill check that’s relevant to the story, the board game punishes you by sending you back to the beginning of the chapter with an additional debuff which of course makes it even harder to get a success on the check the next time around.

        I’ve heard complaints about Tainted Grails difficulty but maybe that was before their recent patch. The game is not hyper easy but as long as you’re not insanely stupid you should be fine. If you spec out into magic the game becomes almost a joke. I am mage boy zapping everything near me mwahahaha get fucked Gallahad.

      I played the demo a year ago or so and it seemed promising. Would you say it’s more Skyrim or Oblivion in terms of character stats/skills and “crunchiness?” Is there a dedicated speed stat?
