Her? As in it was written by a woman? I see... Hm, on second thoughts maybe I'll just skip this title.
It looked good like a good game, but it's not really a game or at least not what I would define as a game.
I'm glad I decided to ask here on the Forums instead of buying on impulse, saved myself a few pounds and a subsequent rage post expressing my dissatisfaction.
Warlock - Master of the Arcane is coming out on the 8th, think I'll just get it when it comes out.
Anyway, a big thanks to everyone for informing me about this game, especially those who dropped that the writer was a female.
Now, obviously, this is just one person, and the post got a lot of "WTF???" followups. I am not claiming that all or even most gamers are like this.
Person tried to justify that most books written by women don't resonate with em. Which is a reasonable preference to have; I find that female authors on average click better with me than male ones do. However, I still read things by male authors - and some of them have exactly the same characteristics I like in my female authors. Because all men are not the same!

Definitely a wtf. I choose my games/books/anime based on genre, not the identity of the author. You can feel a bit of difference between them, but overall I'll be annoyed at either if I'm reading something in a genre that I don't enjoy. I enjoy Elizabeth Moon or Mercedes Lackey books much more than Stephen King or Dean Koontz.
As a selection criteria for creativity, gender of the creator is a pretty poor one to utilize.
Read that thread. Had to stop because it was hurting my head. People have very, very strange ideas about feminism.
