As much as we appreciate your efforts mate, you might want to upload it to GCW instead ... as posting here will likely get you in trouble I'm sorry mate, just trying to save you getting in shit <3
I don't care if I get banned or not. just felt like being helpful towards the community that I'm reading on for like 5 years or something.
On to the game - it's kind of fun game, quite different than the original sims. The camera needs some time to getting used to it. Fresh, fun and playable for some time atleast it seems.
no its not about being banned, not that anyone replied to you saying such, its more about being sensible, regardless of you viewing for 5 years and not posting..
But also one should not take it personally, nobody is having a dig..
You get a starter king character, do quest. Build new building, create new character in there, new quests open up (some require specific character like a blacksmith, the king, a knight, etc).
Quests are basicly fetch this, talk to that, etc. You get mini-tasks alongside the main quest each day (like work orders for the blacksmith, kingy stuff for the king, etc).
Once a quest is done, you are forced to pick a new one and if you chose one that requires a specific character, you are forced to play with that guy while the others become AI. There is no way to just "live" without having a quest or god forbid, chose them at your leisure. No time limit, so that might help a bit here, but it can still be annoying that if you want to play as a specific sim, you have to finish your current quest and chose one that allows the one you want to play as. If you want yet another one, it's rinse and repeat.
The kingdom building is also meh. You get resource points for quests that you can later spend on buildings (some of them house a playable character as mentioned above).
Might be fun for a few days, but I can see it getting really boring really fast.

There's also whole area view which makes you able to see all other kingdoms around you. You can trade and stuff. For now, UI seems abit clumsy but after getting over it - it might either be really fun or get boring. I'll see
zmed, so the quests aren't automated? You actually have to do things by yourself? Are the choices mentioned in that FAQ actually implemented in the gameplay?
Anyway, based on your lowdown, I really think I'll pass.

They are a bit like the missions in World Adventures. You get multiple tasks you need to preform, sometimes asks you to make a choice (like do you send the squire for the tournament equipment or you go yourself, or you challenge the guy who offended you to the death or just until one of you drops, things like that). Also you can chose in what way you want to start the quest. For example there is a quest for the knight about a boar terrorising the village. you can either go into the quest outright trying to hunt down the boar for the bounty or let it escape before others kill it.
It's not like you chose a quest, the selected heroes go off-map and you wait for a timer to run out. Pretty much everything happens on map.
i've heard them saying that you build your kindgom from the ground up and there are quests. so do they have a campaign this time around or is it endless just like in the previous sims ?
?
Edit: just watched
seriously now, didnt understand anything, how can anyone present their game like that ?
I used the launcher and downloaded the patch and it works with the devidox crack.
I thought blocking the launcher from internet access would prevent it from downloading anything but i guess i was wrong.
It is a bit of a kid game, but it's fun for a while i guess. It's a lot similar to the old sims, but they improved the rpg elements and streamlined a few of the old mundane routines. I just played a bit so i don't know how boring it might become. I do like the inventory and the questing and the whole medieval setting. I guess i'll play it a bit more before passing judgement.
