Saving/reusing the same sims over and over, doesn't alleviate this. The game is good for 'task completionists'.
So you do the exact same things, over and over, and your games sort of blend together in your mind after a while. To top this all off there's only 1 world. They're repeated within individual files (this makes sense, for a few quests), rather than having different stories, you have the same story, repeated, but try to get different things/have a slightly different focus, each time you go through. Quests are not only repeated between game save files. The Bad (that I can think of): The game is extremely repetitive. It makes sense that you can put a lot of stuff in the castle, but the bard's little tavern needs much of it's space for tavern stuff (for lack of a better term). Imo, I think this works well with the setting. Which limits what you can have/do on lots. Instead you unlock new buildings as you progress, and you have to use decorative wall dividers to create 'room' spaces. The game doesn't allow you to build your own structures, which is of course, the biggest complaint from critics.
The world/graphics may be a little dated at this point, but the world is still beautiful, and very well laid out. If you go into it expecting standard sims gameplay, you probably won't like it. I have kind of a love hate relationship with medieval.įirst of all, it's important to keep in mind that it is an RPG.
