A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

The innovation they used to address that was mostly the unique interactions each (half) the characters had. The steal/barter, inspect, duel, etc. That got access to a lot of things that either shortened grinds or made grinding easier.

But for me it just wasn't worth the grind anyway when the characters didn't really interact.
