@xp1337 when does Utawarerumono Mask of Deception get good anyway? Or is this one bad the whole way through and it's just the first and third games that are good? Cause man, I'm four and a half hours in, and it sucks so far compared to the first game. The combat's solid (though it feels pretty shallow so far), but the story and characters are blah. The pace is incredibly slow, with very little happening. I liked the early parts with just Haku and Kuon, though even there there were some issues. Probably the biggest negative is that all the girls are huge assholes to Haku for no reason. They're constantly hitting and choking him and such, and it sucks. They even have jokes about the animals doing it for whatever reason. The humor's been uniformly awful. Haku's pretty lame too, constantly being surprised by things even when he just saw them happen a few minutes early (particularly Kuon's (and everyone else's) strength). The other characters (Ukon, Rulutieh, Nekone) haven't impressed either, and Maroro's bad enough that I tend to skip through all his dialogue when he's on screen. I wish the game would just stick to being serious - that'd mean less of the trash humor, though even in the more serious scenes, it could stand to pick up the pace.
