Almost as rich and colourful, in fact, as the minute-to-minute game is empty and frustrating. To say that there’s no challenge isn’t quite fair, it’s just that all of the challenge is in the wrong place. Since your (invisible) percentage chance of completing a task is only ever a matter of how focused your Hero is, you spend most of your time wrestling with this sad variant of risk/reward where the only thing at risk is your own free time. Do you go and fight the dragon and probably fail, leaving you with even less focus than you started with, or do you go to bed, do your duties as a knight, go into town, buy some boar meat, cook a good meal and then fight the dragon?

“It’s as if the adventure game genre had sex with a to-do list.”
That’s the entire game summed up perfectly.
