I tried searching through this places older threads regarding Of Orcs & Men, I did not really find a lot but it kind of saddened me. I also find it funny people who played the Styx games do not know they were basically played prequels to Of Orcs & Men. I just personally think it is a real solid RPG with an amazing narrative. A little too rail roady for some people I bet however I found the setting and characters to be pretty endearing. Places like 4chan barely even mention this game as well so I feel like I am in a minority for it. At first you think the story will be some basic "what if the western RPG let you play as the evil orc?? So deep" however the narrative after that at least keeps you engaged throughout it all.

I will say playing the Styx games ruins a massive plot twist in Of Orcs & Men
Of Orcs and Men is on sale on STeam and Gog pretty much all the time

Had to be better or would have been better than... lol... Rise of the Robots. Oh god! That was awful.

That bulldozer game looked kind of interesting.

I guess I could google 1996 E3 and see what games were demo'd at that time and on what gaming system. Now I wonder how long E3 had been around.
