RPG class quiz

Man, I liked this so much to be start with, but that abrupt non-ending really hurt it. I'm gonna be honest, I don't think the game should've been published in this state.

I know it was part of a larger, abandoned project, but it doesn't seem like it would've taken much to smooth out some kind of ending instead of just suddenly smacking the player in the face with how uncompleted it is. I was really enjoying myself poking around the town and had other things I wanted to do, and the sudden end is made worse by being the same exact thing every time with just some points after a list of generic fantasy classes that are all going to be pretty unrelated to anything the player has done.

Why is it even called an RPG quiz when it's a pretty decent little game in its own right, with the only artifact of that being, again, the sudden ending page it shunts you over to in the middle of walking from one room to another?

The cat by the way is an infinite money generator, and doing nothing but handing it to a senile old woman over and over again ended the game with the same old text and 15 points in Rangering.

Anyway, I'd like to rate this higher because the freedom to explore the tavern and surroundings and all the little mini quests made this so enjoyable to start with, the single timed ending paged utterly disconnected from the narrative just torpedoed the whole experience though. I hope Gryphon finds the time to patch this one up a little and put in a few real ending, because it really wouldn't take much to improve it immensely.

First Impression: I love Money bugs! I must check how much I can earn before this one is squashed!

Story and Worldbuilding: I like that this is a quiz and yet it has so much story. It is kind of like the beginning of secrets of the crag that then transformed into a local town adventure game.... wait is this a prequel?

I like all the different stories and paths you can learn about. It's all interesting and builds a cohesive world around the character. I have gone through several times looking for bugs and this is the first time I actually read through a lot of it. I should have done it sooner.

I do not really see the point of the question whether you are a boy or girl. It only seems to change the dialogue the slightest bit. I really liked the different characters you can meet that know you already. It isn't all just meeting strangers. It feels like there is more depth to the world because of it.

Gameplay: All of the links work. Some work more than they are supposed to though. I noticed that you fixed the tomas money glitch bug, but when there is money to be collected, I will find a way. It's basically just the same glitch that Tomas had, but with Elise the cat lady. The cat never leaves your inventory so you can just keep giving it back to her for 15 gold each time. I imagine my character just giving her the cat and taking it back over and over. It's very funny. You can also just redo whatever you lose at the gambling table but that was the same thing I found in secrets of the crag. I don't think it's fixable, more likely it's just how the randomization feature works for it.

The inventory is a bit wiered. You just keep the old guy's bread and the cat as mentioned before. You don't even need to pick up the stat book at the beginning of the game.

I also noticed that the game doesn't warn you when you are out of turns. It just suddenly ends. I put this complaint into gameplay because sometimes you can't finish a storyline and that constitutes as a gameplay issue.

Grammar: The grammar is pretty good if not perfect as expected from gryphon. He must proofread really well.

Overall: I had fun. I ended up a Ranger most of the time, which is what I usually go for in these kinds of things. I don't know how my copious gambling addiction didn't make me a rogue though. I suppose the bug I mentioned will probably be fixed and a bunch of newbs looking for easy money without clicking the back button a bunch of times will be upset. Whatever.6/8 Solely because you don't warn me about how much time I get to actually do stuff and it annoyed me a lot.

good

yeah, the abrupt ending was surprising, but to your credit, it makes sense as a class quiz..just, why'd you have to go and get me sucked in to a pretty good story if it wasn't going anywhere?? lol

Damn. I always knew I'd die in a fantasy setting, but not the minute I step out of the town. Fun. I'd like to try again! Maybe not so true to self next time...

Cool! I will admit that I died a few times protecting Bartlet's goods, but I liked how this was a more interesting and storygame-style quiz than a normal 'pick one option' kind of game.

Quite intrigued with the story. This game was actually good... except the ending. It was abrupt, to say the least. Could you possibly try making the ending more... interesting?

It was interesting, but if the other comments are any indication, you've failed in doing one of the things that quizzes are a genre best adapted to- And that's using score fuckery so that you can tell what the other people's results were when they comment on it.

Why did you make me pick up the book? I don’t like having to pick up the book. Did you know that you could have started with the book already in my inventory? That would have been better, if you ask me.

Also, I died. I don’t know what class I was. I mean, it was interesting picking the options and seeing my stats change, but when I got to town, I died. Does that mean I’m not any traditional RPG class? It was fun, though, I guess I need to try harder not to die next time.

It plays like an rpg more than a quiz, which is what more of these types of Storygames should be. You've clearly put effort in and didn't just publish it to get something up. Its fun, the little plot lines you wove into it were enough to hold my attention all the way to the end, and of course you'd get my attention with this given how much D&D I play. I hope that if there is an influx of quizzes on this platform they're more like this. Buzzfeed has enough of the bs. Thanks for this, Gryphon!
