Pale and heartless when compared to Sword and Shadow...

I really loved Aralon Sword and Shadow, played it several times with different characters. While Aralon Forge and Flame does provide better UI and graphics than its predecessor, it seems like it doesnt have any story at all, there is just a skeleton of a story to connect a boring series of fights with extremely dumb AIs. Whenever there actually is a story snippet, it is so overloaded with stereotypes that it could in fact be intended as a RPG parody.
