The only NPCs with any personality at all are the various faction leaders, but they typically have just a few sentences to say. They are merely quest givers or exposition/information dumps. You cannot even speak with most NPCs, and those that you can speak with have little to no history or personality. There are basically no characters in this RPG. What about the rest? Here is where the game falters. So the game has some decent dialog boxes and ending text. It's a much more mature take on the issue than I expected, I guess. But that's precisely the sort of game that Spiderweb makes, and while Vogel said in an AMA awhile back that he's always been one bad game away from having to get a job selling shoes, he's actually found solid long-term success with these niche RPGs.I liked how it sets up the factions in each nation, and how the game makes you decide in each case whether to continue to support the current regime that might be a strong but imperfect ally, versus a popular rebellion I also like that the game doesn't demonize going with the current regime.

It follows the adventures of the youngest child of Queen Sharyn, who is suddenly thrust into a position of power and peril after being shipped off to the war-torn land of Sacramentum to rebuild a colony that's collapsed for reasons unknown. Queen's Wish: The Conqueror is the first of what is planned to be a trilogy of games set in an entirely new world.
