In Tyranny, the grand war between good and evil is over – and the forces of evil, led by Kyros the Overlord, have won. The Overlord's merciless armies dominate the face of the world, and its denizens must find their new roles within the war-torn realm... even as discord begins to rumble among the ranks of Kyros' most powerful Archons.

Players will experience the new world order under the Overlord in a reactive role-playing game (RPG), interacting with the populace as a powerful Fatebinder in the Overlord's forces -- roaming the lands to inspire loyalty or fear as they bring control to the last holdouts of the Tiers.

Main Features:

◾Branching, unique stories in an original setting: The battle between good and evil has already taken place, and evil stands victorious

◾Choices matter –  make world-altering decisions with far-reaching consequence: As a Fatebinder in the Overlord's army you wield a vast amount of power in the occupied lands of the Tiers. Will you use that to inspire stability and loyalty, will you be feared, or will you seek your own power?

◾Challenging, classic RPG combat: Tactical real-time-with-pause combat with new party-driven mechanics and modern presentation

◾A rich original setting: Not just another "hero's journey" -- Tyranny turns the archetypal RPG story on its head and allows players to explore a new take on good and evil

We are in a new 'golden age' of RPG's.  This looks quite intriguing.

Am I the only one that reads Tranny when I look at the title?

Tranny, Tranee, Turkey. I'll buy if it's POE-good.  :dreamer:

I also jokingly call it that.

"Sometimes, evil wins"  -  could be the tagline for this year's election.

Wait....it's NOT tranny? Sheeesh....what a waste of money. Sounded SO much more interesting as "in Tranny, the war between good and evil..."

This sounds interesting...probably not too interesting as probably end up with simple variations of the same spells:

". The game will include a creation system for players to build their own magic spells.At Gamescom 2016, Polygon got the chance to test out spell creation and its results in battle. There are a few key components: First, a player must pick the core of their spell. This is essentially its element — frost, fire lighting and so on. Once selected, you can set the expression of the spell, or how it will appear in battle. A bolt will offer a solid long-range choice, for example, while a cone adds more damage to enemies in a wider space. Once created, players can buff their abilities with accents, which add attributes that can increase damage, add additional range, buff stun times or more. As you pile on accents, however, the lore cost for each item will increase; if your character lacks the lore to match, they'll be unable to use it."

With a name like Tranny, I would hope for a really flexible character creation system.  ::)

I would say identifying as non-human as the ultimate form of self expression

I totally saw the box art logo as 'Tranny' too.

That said, something about this game really snags me. I should probably complete Pillars of Eternity but Tranny looks great. Will be difficult to resist.
