Sibelle is an elf who was controlled by her master through a scar on her cheek and now wants revenge for all the terrible things he made her do. As I mentioned each character has an underlying plot of their own as well. Beginning the game with a power dampening Source-collar on, you must first escape and then see where your adventure takes you. Sourcerers are now being rounded up by the Divine Order and taken to Fort Joy where they’re being ‘cured’ as it is believed Voidwoken, monsters and demons effectively, are being drawn from the Void to our dimension by Source users. Each character is a Sourcerer, someone who has the ability to control Source for magic purposes. Although whoever you chose initially will be the leader you can take control of anyone in your party and different people will have different conversations, based on race, background or if you’ve put stats into things like Persuasion. This means you can see the majority of their story as they accompany you. As well as all the mixing and matching of skills and classes you can choose whether to take on the adventure alone or have a group of up to four people on the journey, made up of the characters you didn’t choose at the beginning. However it’s this flexibility with the character builds that, despite being an incredibly long RPG, will allow you to replay it over and over again. How you build your character will make things easier or harder as you play through the game, with the difficulty you choose making things more difficult or pretty much impossible if you mess up your build. You can also create your own character from scratch if you choose and even if you pick a pre-made character you can then customise their appearance, stats and skills before you start. They’re all interesting in their own right so picking one can be tough. There are six pre-made characters to begin with, who each have backstories giving them a goal beyond the main story arc. It can be a bit overwhelming at first, as you’re allowed to pick or create a character. The incredibly well received old-school style, isometric RPG has been reworked to function with a controller and it’s really, really good.
