You might be thinking to yourself: When's a good video-game going to come out where the main character isn't an androgynous half-creature or some kind of super-soldier hell-bent on destroying everything in its path? Or maybe you weren't thinking that, but in any case, you are now.
And I have an answer: It already did.
Tales of the Drunken Paladin: Book III is an RPG developed in the style of old-fashion console RPGs (the golden days, my friend). Its protagonist is a man whose faults are many and glaring, but whose humanness is tangible and heart-breaking, while simultaneously charming and absurd. He is a man who had everything and does not even realize that he has lost it all. It is a light-hearted story about heavy subjects, and above all, it is raved by
many as the funniest damn thing around.
So give it a a shot and register on the
forums while you're over there so I can hear your responses! I promise you that (so long as you are an adult capable of making rational decisions), it won't be a waste of your time.
