I don't feel that way about the game. The introduction drags on for too long, while the ending feels rushed. Some elements, like the edges, aren't explained well. A few are self-explanatory, but what does zeal do? It's never clarified. Additionally, some edges aren't even utilized; during my playthrough, I chose the hunter edge, and by Chapter 8, I hadn't used it at all.
The drives explain their functions, but they only do so AFTER you've made your choice, which is frustrating. I didn't even realize I was choosing one until after I clicked on it. Furthermore, the story starts a lot of side quests all at once, leaving you with basically no time to complete anything. For example, in the same chapter where we're introduced to the vampire, we're also introduced to Daniel's problem, the Fada Corporation, the Arcanum, and the mission regarding St. Leopold. It's overwhelming and feels disjointed. The romances are also quite problematic. Some, like Aine, only start in the last chapter, while others, like Kitty, are nearly NTR... and when I refer to 'True Hunter,' I mean it quite literally. I envisioned the game starting with us already established as hunters. For players who may not be familiar with this role, we could introduce a mechanism where someone hands us a book or a similar guide (like an index in other games) or perhaps incorporate a few flashbacks. This approach would significantly speed up the gameplay, eliminating the need to wait eight chapters before engaging in any hunting activities. We could adopt a format similar to 'Night Road' or 'Book of Hungry Names,' where we have a primary mission of hunting the beast of Glenkidove, but at the same time, we would engage in hunting other supernatural creatures every one to two chapters. There are many other issues, but I won't go into detail because it's not really worth the time. If you enjoyed it, that's great; I just didn't. I felt it was a waste of money and time, but I wanted to support World of Darkness cause I love their world, and Night Road is my top 1. My opinion is basically: This game is great for new players/as the start of a trilogy (or smt similar) BUT it is only mediocre as a standalone title/for people who already know World of Darkness.
P.S.: I only finished my 1 run, I'm currently doing a 2 one to try and see if things change.
