![]() Growls are a fair replacement for actual acting, much less menace, right? (You're called in for a big menacing conversation with the big bad right after he executed a guy, and it's literally "sup? Drop by my office for a more indepth conversation when you have the time". The sheriff is apparently the main bad guy, and he's ever so growly. So much gorier and thus edgier than QFG, you see. an actual game.Īn obligatory gritty execution to welcome us into the town. The sort of perspective issue you wouldn't expect from. Our hero is apparently hobbit sized - or all the buildings are made for giants.
