The RPG wasn't to my taste due to the PvP nature, but I did have some positive things to say about it - for example, I did like the system and mechanics. I wouldn't be averse to playing the occasional cinematic game, so long as it's actually a one-shot and not a 14-hour event. For me, I don't like competitive games that stretch that long. Of course, I was not the GM of the session, so I don't know how closely we followed the adventure and rules. I know only enough that the setting and its expectations aren't for me. Concerning the severity of PvP conflict depending on the progression of the Acts...Act 1 - presentation of secrets and keeping information away from your fellow players; manipulating them into doing what you wantAct 2 - setting yourself up to be the one calling the shots - remove those who stand in your wayAct 3 - just kill the rest of them</blockquote>
