In preparation for total Greedfall Hype, I'm playing a previous game of theirs. A couple people asked me to do a Let's Play of it when I began it.
I know @carefull was one of them.
I've never played it before, but I've heard good enough things that I decided to buy it on sale for $14 in spite of it's Male Only Protaganist. PS/Warning I'm doing renovations on my house, so this Let's Play will not go as quickly as my other ones by a loooong shot.

First Impressions:
For some reason, the Intro reminded me of Star Craft, I don't know why.
Limited options for creation, even with the Only MAle Option. Guess it's better than Geralt, but we can't even opt out of the scars and the red is lame. ( I usually always make a green eyed red head as my first toon.)
Exposition dump at the beginning left me lost. Figure I'll pick it up as the game goes on, so I din't hurt my brain too much.
Crafting doesn't look complicated during my brief brush with it.
Liking the staff but the Gun and Blade looks good too. I reject the Shield and MAce entirely.

No direct interaction with NPCs that aren't scripted to give you game info. Can't fall off a cliff to your death. Neat, you can choose between life and death in even random battle encounters . Can't jump or walk over rubble shorter than your ankle. Can stealth. Random loots don't have sparklies. I really suck at the battle, to be honest, although I haven't died on Normal mode yet. Back to renovations!

Heya, glad you are giving it a shot. Scars are part of Zachariah's backstory with one of the companions.

So, the first real dialogue choice is whether you speak out over a beating. Considering how mad MEA Kadara Port made me on the matter, I spoke out. Then promptly felt embarrassed as my "Master" chided me for giving into stupid jabs from the lower classes. Off we go to empty a dome of looters and you can opt not to kill the folks you knock out. Or kill them and drain them of their life force to power your attacks. Master told me not to. I thought, whether I decide I'm a murderous dude or not later, that I still wouldn't blatantly disregard my Master's order. So I spare the looters. I do not spare the random space bugs. The dome can only be entered by two technomancers doing fancy electricity, which confuses me. If this dome was built by those who first landed, technomancy must have been around since before Mars. huh. We enter the dome, and it is filled with...books. I am surprised. Onwards.

It's kinda weird, sometimes, to play this protags with huge histories we don't know about. At least Witcher Geralt had amnesia You will get a banter eventually that will tell you how Zach got his scars. He is a grown up man, after all. As for amnesia, I am sorry, that as a plot device was so overused by Obsidian and BioWare that I pretty much rolled my eyes when I saw melbella mention that Geralt joined the line up. Seriously, in the late 90s - early 2000s most games seemed to start with your character waking up in a room/tank/morgue and going OMG, who am I? And then started recovering his past and aww, aww, aww, seeing how s/he is going retrace his/here terrible, terrible, terrible former self orreform and be good forever. Revan I think still holds the title of the most LS/DS conversions 😜 Zach is more like Hawke, but less wiggle room for personality.

Yes, I was surprised too, and random bugs are not considered a murderwhen you drain serum. If you drain a human, your reputation with Mancers will go down each time.

I like the protag's voice acting and the voice actor of Master.
And whoa. The Initiation into becoming a Technomancer is that we are also mutants. Just mutated in a prettier more useful way. And the ugly useless mutants are made into slaves. But apparently, those in power who decide who are to be slaves don't know we Technomancers are mutants.
Drama.

What! Why is the dome burning! The Mantis destroyed it before you killed it. I know, it’s hard to believe... but that’s what Zach says waaaay later in the game. I was also huh? At that point.

Yeah, I felt like I was playing the Nameless One all over again, except this time I had a name and other people actually knew who I was.

So the point of the sleeping is to get some sort of experience bonus?
Lot of thugs attacking us mancers in the slums eh?
