I've just found this game and I'm already in love! The characters definitely don't feel one-dimensional and like just...random people that can easily be seduced? Azad and Xelara remain my favorites so far but I'm thinking they're all very intriguing.
Wait, lemme reiterate what I've said though. The characters' personalities feel fully immersive and fleshed out, like real people with actual concerns and opinions. That and being the ruler of the land, having to deal with the potential backlash of decisions that I, the player, select, is a lot of pressure and continuously has me sweating haha. I want the country to thrive and for people to be okay, and this Steward to be appropriately handled, though he's a minor irritation compared to the assassins.
All in all? Consider me heavily invested.
