![]() ![]() Success is linked to your ambition, personal outlook and choices, which then directly shape events and responses, altering the unfolding circumstances and the subsequent reactions of both friend and foe. This is a reactive, living world where you play as just one of many actors on a large, ever-changing stage. These are often ‘fetch and carry’ quests, or requests to achieve a particular result for reward many require significant travel and items/knowledge to trigger specific events, so there are always outstanding quests on your list to complete. To achieve the necessary progress you’ll need to piece together information, items, gained knowledge – and fortunate finds – to complete many of the tasks and missions that form the bulk of the game. Thankfully, this is simply a by-product of the ‘go anywhere’ format, which (mostly) passes once you’ve played for several hours. All of this intended resemblance results in an adventure that delivers the expected experience of many joyful and satisfying achievements (completing storylines and improving your character’s abilities), and a tedious amount of laborious travelling as you endlessly traverse its locations seeking information, money and other valuable resources.Ī notable feature of such open-world adventures is that a lack of money, possessions and knowledge restricts the amount of available options, making early progress rather slow and uneventful. Similarly, you’ll also find the familiar codewords and tickboxes used to track progress, and it even replicates the two-column text format of the original large format editions of Fabled Lands. Martin Noutch’s impressive Steam Highwayman series is highly reminiscent of the open-world Fabled Lands gamebooks, incorporating similar player mechanics regarding structure, progress and navigation, and employing the same multi-book interconnection with other forthcoming titles. ![]()
