![]() ![]() Often, I found myself focusing on the wrong talent, finding myself at a wall where another one I hadn’t unlocked yet would be more beneficial). ![]() Often at times it seems like the character doesn’t level up quick enough with various points rewarded at pre-determined stages (for example level 13 might grant one skill point, but the next level is a talent point). This is also how you unlock lockpicking and crafting as well. For example, stocking up talent points on charisma will allow De Sardet to become one very smooth talker who can talk his way out of almost every situation when needed. Finally, ‘Talents’ provide more specific solutions to problems. ‘Attributes’ are similar but focus more on the characters mental and physical abilities. ‘Skills’ are specific more towards battle, such as increased damage. The skill tree system is divided into three different branch, each specialising in different areas for modifying the character. For example, access to a location may seem like it is dependent on a bloody battle, but circling around or gaining favourable skills could allow you to either talk your way out of it, or find an alternative path based off the accumulated skills such as crafting a sleeping potion, or blowing up loose rocks to find a new passage. The RPG elements in GreedFall often tie back well with multiple ways to resolve a situation or bypass an obstacle.

How you respond to that will affect how you experience the entire world around it. For example the heretics say they are historians that have been persecuted for their findings. It may seem like you are rounding up charlatans and heretics, but there is another side to the story for both missions, which is something you’ll come across time and again as you work through the many missions in GreedFall. Representatives from the Bridge Alliance and Theleme will task De Sardet with missions during this time. Serene introduces the player to most of the key factions. This is clear from the get-go, with the tutorial taking place in the protagonist’s secluded hometown of Serene. That focus on diplomacy will often lead to situations either in the main quests, or side quests that are anything but a case of black-and-white, and indeed, this is a topic that Spiders as a team often likes to explore. This gives him a heavy diplomatic role within the world and narrative. The game puts you in control of De Sardet, a noble of the Merchant of Congregation who has recently been promoted to legate. What makes GreedFall unique stems from the characterisation of the protagonist. Related reading: Our review of the previous Spiders title, The Technomancer ![]()
