You know, listening to this game, I mentally stopped and mused “Remember when we were just simple pirates living on the high sea adventuring? Drink up me hearties, yo-ho?” (As the crew struggles to stop political turmoil and a brewing civil war.)
I say this ABSOLUTELY LOVING what has transpired since I started giving this a second go. I also love how this game has gone from PotC meets Fable, straight to PotC meets Skyrim (I think someone even mentioned Skyrim in this session or last) though not surprising given how flamboyantly analogues the nations are to real world locals. Really starting to fall for that feel of this setting (Not quite real Earth, but an exaggerated satire of it. And with names that dont fully remove themselves from what their based on.)
I really think my first impressions of this campaign was merely just not being in the mood, but now that I am, I’m really enjoying it. I’m looking forward to the next nation the crew ventures to and am probably going to read up more on Theah and 7th Sea.
