Andor's Trail

I thought of creating a poll but I didn't want to restrict you guys to a handful of answers so I'll keep this open-ended.
But I'm just curious as to what it is about this game that excites you? What gets your blood flowing?

Is it the open world concept? Exploring, finding new and wonderful things. Or maybe it's the thrill of a new quest to conquer? Or maybe it is just the level of difficulty that you enjoy?
Maybe it's the depth of the game that you enjoy? building a whole assortment of different characters with different skills and different weapons and different equipment?

Me personally, I really enjoy making my character better. Seeing there abilities grow with each level, skill or equipment upgrade.
I also love the depth in being able to build so many entirely different characters.

In the game I like the open world, open character building, the final decissions and the great different quests.
I also enjoy very much the community around the game and the possibility to get involved, create game content, etc.

One favorite thing? Not possible lol.

I like that the community can contribute to the game development.

I like the open world, instead of the usual linear path and separate character classes, with continuous choices to make, not just a series of bigger and bigger boss monsters to hack through.

I absolutely love the fact that different authors make quests with a very different feel. For example, Nut's work on Guynmart and Stoutford added a really refreshing taste.
This all makes the game feel diverse, where most RPG end up feeling repetitive.

Also, from an insider perspective, the community, the team, the free software aspect, and the international nature make it really exciting.

I enjoy questing. And grinding for the legendary and extraordinary items.
Being able to wander all over the world is great also.

All of the above and more! Some things that you guys already mentioned such as character building/free software aspect/open world etc, are my favorites too. I especially like that the game still developing and evolving as we play and no one know how it all will end - if ever?

That it's a free game with open source. Good and fun story, interesting choices and fun to build character.

I must admit I love this game for the community and developers. Also the fact that is 'permament'. You can transpot the gamesaves to different devices.

Old school feeling. Coming from Baldurs Gate era, I have a lot of interest in playing RPG's though not into the modern releases and often looking for similar games. It was a fellow member on RPGCodex who directed me towards Andors Trail. I was totally surprised about how this game existed for so long in public domain, and yet, I didn't even read a mention of this game in other forums.

Got totally hooked on to it since install.

The big open world is the most impressive aspect of the game, followed by zero experience of bugs/glitches during multiple playthroughs. Something that is really commendable on the testing job.

The small file size and very minimal battery impact is again awesome. It allows me to play over several hours with just a 10% battery consumption.

Though the quests are simple in nature with a variety of different adventures. It still requires player's attention as there are quests which cleverly hide certain options and choices in the conversations presented. It may seem straightforward but there are also surprises in terms of C&C's attached to the quests, which requires the player to try and explore the options in details.

It looks beautiful. Love the graphics. Though I would appreciate if the sprites and character details could be more clear and larger in size.

I hope there's an improvement over the initial parts of grinding which kind of works against the game and might turn off the players who may not be comfortable in investing too much time just to earn gold before they are able to fully explore and enjoy the content.

I love the quests and grinding for weapons and also the open worldness of this Cool game
