Well, the choice-based part of the game is straight-forward, choose what you think is right and hope you don't immediately regret it-- definitely the main reason to play, making critical decisions that can easily get your followers killed, sometimes much later on, assessing your capability as a leader. Battles are tame outside Hard, and characters won't die in them unless you lose specific ones.

Managing your caravan is the more complex part, maintaining supplies to keep unnamed followers alive. You're not supposed to manage it perfectly. People will lie and people will die. As long as you're prepared to make morally ambiguous decisions to keep your party members alive, you should be able to enjoy the game. Just don't complicate it by trying to do too much, and stick with the consequences of your actions. You will burn out trying to rectify all of them

Yeah, I saw that review too. Seems a bit dramatic. I'm not sure if I'm ready for something super complicated tho. How is it in general?
