Even if you were to wake me up at night I would easily be able humm a few tunes from each game. You have choices and those choices matter.Īnd the music in these games is just amazing. Technically you can go almost anywhere right from the start, but even the smallest of critters will slaughter you mercilessly and to get stronger and gain easier access to more of the world and the story, you have to actually seek out trainers to improve your stats, learn new skills, or get crafty with sneaking, quests and companions to help you reach your goals or loot sooner, rather than later.Įach game has three distinct factions, whose storylines play out rather differently (though they all converge at the end) and being friends with one faction could mean being enemies with another. It isn't big by todays standards, but it is so densely packed (even vertically) with interesting and unique areas, incredible loot and brutal enemies.

Some of it may be nostalgia, but I do believe that Piranha Bytes was way ahead of their time, especially with the first two games.Įach and every NPC is fully voiced, they have jobs, a home, go to the tavern at night, yell at you when you step into their home and take your gold and your weapon when you try to beat them up and fail, while others cheer them on and laugh at you.
