It conveys the atmosphere of a fractured, post-Roman Britain quite well, and although it has some fantastical elements, these are quite subdued for the most part and maintains a more realistic approach.I found the writing to be engaging and enjoyable, and quite a few of the choices you make are recognized later on the in story, meaning that my decisions actually had some weight to them. SPOILERS INCOMING!I also greatly appreciated the fact that the game allowed you some flexibility in terms of the outcome. You do not have to stick to the classic Arthurian story. I actually deliberately avoided becoming king and prefered to work behind the scenes. You are not railroaded into taking the throne. You have the option of stepping down and supporting someone else instead, and this enhances the role-playing element.. Maximized Bravado and Ruthlessness, minimized Cunning and Compassion, fought in the dirt, made everyone angry, became a warleader, and slept with Morgan.11\/10 - would pull the sword again.. Ever wanted to take part in the Arthur saga? Now is your time to change one of britains most famous stories.While it differs in quite some things from the original (naturally), it catches the dramatic events of Arthurs way from bastard son to Ruler of the Kingdom in it\u00b4s war against the evil Saxon invaders.Offering a special treat, Pendragon Rising includes the option to change the whole main cast from male to female, which also presents a different take on the story itself.Will you strive to make peace via diplomacy wherever possible or be a revengeful ruler without mercy? An opportunistic coward or a true hero, who inspires your folk with brave speeches?The writing is also enjoyable enough to fit the theme, while friends of the classic adventure topic, where you rally your allies together with your close group of friends should feel right at home.Conclusio: This has to be one of my favourite CYoA books up to now, as the atmosphere is really enjoyable, the characters likeable\/hateable and it has enough content, to play it more than once, and even get a fully different setting.Rating: 8\/10. The story is more about war, fighting, ally-making, throne inheritance, and supernatural stuff. The characters are well-written, as their personalities are unique and have specialties that make them stand out. The story doesn't quite change much, but your choices influence the outcome of the endings. The ending is rather short, though. Like, really short. Kind of wished there was more of an exposition in the end, but the meat of the story was rather filling. Plus there a little bit of incest with a character. Why oh why.... A nice mix of RPG and strategy (all text obviously).. Better than I expected. I'm not finished yet but I'm enjoying it. I'm not a huge fan of the text adventures but it was cheap and I was bored. It's worth the money and I'll be more open to text adventures from now on.. Another great product from COG. An alternate take on Arthur's legend (I think). A great story with political intrigue and battles. Had fun playing as it also worth my money and time.8\/10 Incest. Ah, the good old medieval times of shagging that will make Cersei proud. Although I was not aware of it. Blame my lover-stealing father for that.
