Been playing this a lot. Enjoying it quite a bit. Pacing is certainly slow (especially with permadeath factored in, the amount your next character inherits is really quite small compared to the effort required to set it up and how easily you can die from bad luck) but I think the game would be pretty dull if I could just run around roflstomping through all the challenges. The interesting part is managing to sail to the other side of the map in your shitty ass starting boat, with your hold filled with stupid coffin men, and then trying to intelligently handle various locations and manage your money/cargo to be able to get back home.
It also feels pretty awesome to discover stuff on your own. My biggest gripe would actually have to be that the game itself spoils a lot of the fun by giving you too much information about what you need to resolve a quest/text adventure.
Never could get into Space Rangers. Progression felt just as slow as this, but there were only a handful of text adventures, which were the only real fun parts, since you're basically a gnat in the middle of important battles, and trading and bounty hunting were both very dull affairs.
