The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante

I got the game while it was on a 100% discount and I can only recommend trying it if you see it for free. The main issue to me is that the game deliberately undermines its own strongest premise for the sake of making an unspoken "profound point" through its mechanics. To explain, early on you are sold on the idea that stats are highly important in this game. Personal traits, family reputation and later on even professional stats and even stats relating to revolution. The reality is that none of them actually matter beyond being used to unlock choices in arbitrary events that are designed to railroad you into a specific type of playthrough. You very rarely feel like the choice itself is even interesting, you just need it in order to get other stats you need or avoid reaching a critical threshold and locking yourself out of a story arc you were invested in. For example you have a Valor stat that is supposed to be a reflection of your martial prowess. Around the midpoint of the game there is a tournament you can end up participating in. So long as you have enough Valor to be in this rout, it does not matter how much of it you actually have, your outcome will always be the same. You can barely qualify or have the stat actually maxed out but you will have the exact same result in the tournament with the exact same description, and again even with the stat maxed you can not win the tournament. Unless.....you practiced fencing with your father, who is not very good at fencing, at the very start of the game. In that case even if your Valor is not that high you win the tournament by default. Also the few times your character does have the option to get into fights later on, you always die as a result no matter what your Valor is. Later on the game becomes even more contrived. It was deliberately designed in such a way as to ensure that certain outcomes can never be combined, even though the entire playthrough you have been balancing the various stats out to achieve those outcomes. Want to achieve hereditary nobility status AND keep your family members united? Too bad, the moment you unite your family the game LITERALLY forces your reputation to be disgraced by hitting you with a unavoidable random event which sets your reputation to 0 no matter how high it previously was. This gets even worse in the very final chapter where THE LITERAL EVENT ORDER ensures that you can never achieve a 'good' conclusion to the story. There are plenty of ways to get this stat maxed during the final chapter but wait...right before the final confrontation you get an event that should be trivial to resolve but man, it just so happens to cost you a single point in that one stat no matter what. And wouldn't you know it...there is no way for you to restore it in time for the conclusion of the game which requires this exact stat to be maxed in order to not be locked out of any of the two good endings. So I spent some time, skipping through the game and with some trial and error got everything to mostly work out the way I wanted it to, completely taking me out of whatever stakes the game had built up. And what was it all for, what conclusion did I get with the ending? "Reputation, career, personal traits, characters, trying to achieve some kind of goal in the world? All those things you spent hours caring about and trying to balance and weigh them against each other? None of these things actually matter! Do you get it? It was very cringe to care about any of this mundane, worldly stuff because god is love, everyone is part of a greater whole and also the world itself is canonically someones dream probably" Deep.

All your siblings are uncooperative degenerates and get your family disgraced, maxing out valor is the death% speedrun despite what the tooltip says, and you can die as a child over a box of tin soldiers.

不好玩 我必须把这三个字写在最前面，以免大家忘了这是个游戏，总体来说，作为一款剧情选择向游戏，他太严肃了，总体剧情缺少趣味性，整个游戏其实基本上都在讨论政治，那就不要指望能让多少人同感了，毕竟这种老白男写出来的剧情本就经不起推敲，然后游戏内选选项需要有一定的六维达标，要么就是有前置条件，很多人说这游戏卡数值，就体现了这个六维系统的弊端，我是个很看重利弊的人，在我游玩的时候，基本上就是先关心每个选项后能给我带来多少六维收益，这就很破坏你的沉浸体验，有些时候你得为了收益选一些你不想干的事情，又有一些时候你有想干的事情你属性不达标干不了。人物也比较偏脸谱化，基本上都是为了剧情服务的，所以你能感觉到里面出来的人没有人味儿，它并不是一个具体的有个性的个体，唉，这也为什么导致他这个家庭里面说实在的，所有的兄弟姐妹都令人反感，看到这个家都令人感到窒息。游戏中三个理论上来说算是女主角的角色吧，也是抽象啊，前面已经提到整个游戏角色塑造很糟糕了，那三个女主更是重灾区啊，你但凡心地善良，希望这个自己小镇能有一个好结局，这三个人基本上都得死，宗教那条线我没有去体验，因为我本来就不感兴趣，体验了一下游民线和骑士线，总体来说，这游戏写的还是太唯心了，你如果真的从唯物角度去看待他们这个剧情就是很难受，看上去就是一个非要写政治但是又写不好的剧本，只能说老白男眼界有限，总的来说作为游戏做的并不好。

Знаете, мне очень понравилась игра, необычный сеттинг, большое количество путей развития героя. Но когда в один момент тебе просто не хватает силы, чтобы поступить в институт и тебя бросает по пути священника, когда ты ♥♥♥♥♥ всю главу стремился к дворянству - это ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Ладно, подумал, может выйдет что-то интересное, но НЕТ, потому что у священника не хватает ♥♥♥♥♥ теологии, чтобы наставлять людей на путь истиный. У ♥♥♥♥ СВЯЩЕННИКА. Ну а потом началось восстание и знаете какой у меня был выбор действий? НЕ ВМЕШИВАТЬСЯ, буквально я мог или не вмешиваться или иногда встать на защиту староверов, хотя я поддерживал Леннарта. Короче я даже не дошёл до концовки, остановился посреди вечера. Очень хотелось пройти игру второй раз, но не вынес этого бреда.

Девиз этой игры - "Пусть всё что ты делаешь превращается в прах и гуано в последней главе". Практически все твои прошлые решения, прокачка, статы и связи не значат ни-че-го. Спасибо разработчикам за первые, интересные 90% игры. Но концовка запорола для меня всё.

我的评价跟之前看到过的某个评论一样，这是个只值得玩一遍的游戏。 好感度的设计太失败了，想着刷家族路线跟家族成员一起建设家庭，结果这群废物真就是一群喂不饱的狼。每次家族相关剧情我都在努力调解充当黏合剂，姐姐天天跟街头混混花天酒地鬼混回到家只会乱哈气，哥哥传承祖父霸之意志天天有事没事就喜欢挑事霸凌姐姐。老母病重要救的时候给选项要姐姐在场才能救，可我前面花了很大功夫保你留在家不被赶出去，这时候你又美美隐身了。然后老母死了个个都跳出来降我好感度，我吃柠檬我还真以为是我杀了你们老母。你们就是这么报答我的？最后也是作者天意大手发力，个个都死在贱民暴乱里，无人生还了，好结局。 让你们活着好像也没有什么用，只会烧我钱，烧我属性点数，跟饥恐里的大剑骑士一样废物，还不如见面直接一刀杀了毛装备。 为什么说是贱民？因为这游戏里的傻逼平民还真就是这德行，平时唯唯诺诺帮着贵族打压你叫你遵守本分教你做人，一到暴乱章节个个浑水摸鱼打砸抢，老实人说是。特别是贱民大王索菲亚，不救你降好感度，不帮你也降好感度。每次看见这傻逼人物我都想有没有什么选项可以害死他。还有一个恶心的点就是为了煽动起义你几乎得把所有钱花在家族和贱民这两帮贵物身上，也导致了救不了好兄弟托马斯（做好攻略规划应该能救），反正我是不想再玩第二遍了。 唯一值得肯定的是仇恨引导（虚假的正义）反而推波助澜了真正的起义这个剧情设计好歹多少有点新意。
