Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon is amazing.I love the atmosphere and music. It also has several quality of life improvements to standard game mechanics. Magic has a Light and Heavy cast which can do different things. For example, a heavy cast might summon a creature while a light cast tells your summons who to attack. When interacting with merchants, you can sell directly from your stash without having to carry it all around.#gaming #games #TaintedGrail @games

I do agree, it is great. It makes me want to constantly respec though, because its so flexible. What type of character do you enjoy the most/recommend?

With the high quality of free engines and the resulting explosion of indie games, nearly every genre has a constant stream of titles coming out. At this point I find my enjoyment of a game comes down to how many quality of life tweaks it implements more than any other factor.

So many otherwise great games stumble here. Take the survival crafting genre: basic things like crafting from storage or stacking to nearby chests make a game so much more pleasant to play, but it feels like half of all games neglect to implement them even when players request them from day 1 of Early Access.

This game's biggest flaw is its title.

I ended up settling on spells in my left hand, sword in my right, dodging like a maniac.

Right up until the last 3 hours where I respec'd into exclusively two-handed sword + heavy armor because

Spoiler for the very end

the game kinda pushes you into it with the King Arthur gear. Imo respec'ing is too easy, and too necessary. The stat requirements for that armor were so specific and high, and I guessed correctly that I wouldn't need any of my social stats for the rest of the game. Fortunately, I really enjoyed the pure sword combat, so I still had fun, but my character went from light armor spell-sword to plate armor greatsword wielder for just the final dungeon. Kinda odd when you think about it in the RP context.

Huh, good to know. I appreciate you taking the time to provide some insight.
