  • I enjoyed Malazan Book of the Fallen so much, but at a certain point I gave up on trying to figure out which confusing plot elements were due to me forgetting an earlier reference and which were intended to be a mystery and tried to enjoy the story for what was in front of me. Re-reading the series cleared up a lot of my questions but not all of them by any means. It’s an enormous story! I think I might hit this series up again after the book I’m reading now.




  • I’m nearing the end of act III with a couple of friends and I’m having a great time. I’m very likely to have a 2nd and maybe 3rd playthrough coming up. I love the game as it is, but I do have a few complaints.

    My biggest complaint is that we can’t just let a more appropriate character take over a conversation. One of my clumsy, dim-witted brawler friends runs ahead by one pixel triggering a cutscene, and I can’t jump in mid-conversation to smooth things over with my bardic talent. This is our most common reason for loading a previous save.

    Second biggest complaint is the number of things that you can mis-click to destroy your character’s reputation. I’d love to be able to opt-in to an “are you sure” dialog when you accidentally click a random item on the floor while moving around. This is our second most common reason for loading a previous save.

    Absolutely loving the game despite some very confusing storyline elements that must have relied on earlier foundational elements that we missed.
