True, but the game title itself capitalizes them...I think the consensus is that the race names in Of Orcs and Men don't require capitalization.
That would completely change what the author thinks.I would change the end to:

In fact he means exploration (story has many c&c and is NOT linear. Example: several party members can die depending on your choices, but you cannot choose the way = No exploration)Although the story is fairly linear
linear exploration / not a lot of extra side quests
lack of enemy diversity
lack of special moves / combat options
Banner saga has a linear main plot (main story).
Banner saga has linear/no exploration ("game on rails").
Banner saga has a non-linear story (narrative) with quite a few choices and consequences along the way.
... because titles follow different, and quite arbitrary, rules on capitalization. Now all the big kids are going to laugh and poke fun at the book for improper use of case. Is that what you want felipepepe? Because that's what will happen.True, but the game title itself capitalizes them...I think the consensus is that the race names in Of Orcs and Men don't require capitalization.
That's emotional blackmail bro.Now all the big kids are going to laugh and poke fun at the book for improper use of case. Is that what you want felipepepe? Because that's what will happen.
The german system analyst and the brazilian marketing devil... heh, would be hard to find more different personalities.felipepepe I'm a system analyst, it's my job to understand people, to analyze processes and complex technical specifications and find inconsistencies and remove errors before I start to program. I want everything to be as good and exact as it can be.
But I won't contact them back every time something isn't "exact", ok?

It would be really nice if terms like "turn-based combat", "cRPG", "role-playing elements", "c&c", "p&p" would be consistent over all reviews. We could make a glossary for such recurring terms with small explanations, too.BTW, wouldn't be easier if you and the rest of the grammar nazis made a reference guide on stuff like "turn-based"?
Despite some minor complaints about the linear nature of the main story and missed opportunities with the AI's combat options, I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the mechanics. If the remaining episodes continue the dark, but engrossing, story and Stoic builds on the foundations of the combat system, then this series could easily turn into an epic masterpiece fans of story driven games won’t want to miss.
I only wanted to make a book!I want you into some kind of abyss
Oh god, the debate on the glossary term for "RPG"... let's leave that for later, ok?I have tons of small explanations for terms of the role-playing genre, just tell me what terms should be in the glossary and I'll find something and write it together.
