"So here comes my challenge, viewers: in order to gauge the effectiveness of the game's story, I'm going to attempt to list all eight characters and their story arcs from memory alone. There's Tressa, an underage girl who vows with the lofty ambition of youth to dedicate her life to becoming a really good travelling merchant, this being a more innocent time before child protection services. Then there's Cyrus, a teacher who gets fired because of some mean girls' drama and goes looking for an overdue library book or something. Errm, oh yeah, Primrose! She's a stripper assassin who shows her commitment to revenge by refusing to put trousers on regardless of the weather. Err, this might be easier if I try to remember their classes rather than their personalities, so there's standard warrior man with sword who is seeking justice on the man who robbed his honour because aren't they fucking always? The thief Therion, I remember his name because it contains most of the letters of "thief" and his story involves having to steal some things because if you only have one thing going for you, you might as well own it, I say. Priest? Yep, got one of them, some blonde lady going on a pilgrimage because the lady who was supposed to do it called in sick or something. How many is that? Six? Shit. Oh yeah, there's the hunter lady looking for her missing master who comes from a village where everyone talks like they got really drunk at a renaissance fair, and decided they were going to just have fun with it. Lastly, apothecary lad: their friend gets poisoned, they cure the poison, then they decide to travel the world because the format demands it."
