The character of Constantin, your cousin and New Serene’s governor, is probably one of the best examples of this, as well as a good example of subversive writing. Good writing doesn’t just permeate through your companions either, as the many other characters of GreedFall all serve as these intricate pieces of a 17th century puzzle that’s also an illuminating look at the human condition. Balancing these characters and working them into the game’s larger plot feels incredibly satisfying, and it’s easily the most polished aspect of GreedFall. In some regards, GreedFall feels very much like Spiders’ most advanced attempt at something like Mass Effect, and in terms of character building, the studio has succeeded at making remarkably human characters in a fantastic historical realm. GreedFall lets you pick up to two companions to join you on quests. The other is a mysterious illness called Malichor, which is plaguing the city of Serene, the heart of the Congregation of Merchants. The Congregation is a powerful neutral nation that leads the civilized world in terms of commerce and exploration, and during the events of the game is caught up between two major issues: one is of a brewing war between the Bridge Alliance and the Thélème, two opposing factions with very different ideologies. Your character, De Sardet, is an ambassador of sorts for the Congregation of Merchants’ first settlement on Teer Fradee called New Serene. The setting is well-realized, with a thorough backstory to boot. In a sense, it takes direct inspiration from the European colonization of the Americas, but with fantasy elements like magic and monsters mixing in with the growing technological marvels of gunpowder and other industrial elements. Set in a faux alternate 17th century fantasy world, GreedFall’s story centers on the mysterious island of Teer Fradee, which is caught in a growing conflict between different factions. It really delivers on realistic, yet subversive writing steeped in an intricate weave of history and fantasy. GreedFall excels the most when it comes to its overarching story and dialog. GreedFall's main plot centers on De Sardet trying to find a cure for the Malichor, a plague upon Serene.
