Tranny was a cool concept but I've never understood why they've made a new IP instead of Pillars spinoff happening somewhere on Eora in another era or whatever.

I know.

I watch that thread.

And, even if you come here to say "Tyranny is for people that cannot beat ToME", you have spent your last two weeks in that thread crying for help because you cannot beat ToME.

So, play the games you like and shut up because we are not interested in your mini-penis.

If you're in jail, that''s the least of your problems.

As for your other question about standards vs this game.
Encounter design is hot garbage, the "bestiary" is hot garbage few enemies recycled again and again.I tried to play it twice and stopped around the library so I don't know about the game being too short, I couldn't murter the strength to complete it.

But I like the settings and the spell crafting gimmick.

Technically, it's a disaster, devs can't be arsed to optimize their games anymore, it doesn't matter when most gamers change their computer every 3-4 years or even faster.
Besides Deadwater and Pathfinder didn't do any better in that regard.

So, this game is mediocre, I agree, still, there was some potential, unlike deadwater where everything is mediocre or worse like the character development & skills.

The barbarians haven't miscarried, although that could be a legitimate reason for their wanting to be barbarians, they have to have lost a child. The castration is a punishment.

If anything I'd say the implications of the spires and what we learn about them is the most interesting part of the game.

That is? Honestly speaking I don't remember much from this game aside from a feeling of disappointment that this particular mystery was never really solved (what's up with the Spires and so on).
It's pretty obvious that they're the source of Kyros' power, but aside from that? Was there anything else?

It's implied Kyros did not make them, they were already there, and that all of his/her power stems from just discovering and using them. There's also a bunch of implications about them and the walls (wraithwalls? I forget what the name is, been a while) and the monsters inside them all being connected. Probably more I'm missing. It's kind of like the predecessors & the citadel & the Reapers in Mass Effect. They didn't get to explore it as much, but it seems to me like it's the central mystery of the setting.

This reminds me the book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.
