The Waylanders

Parents need to know that The Waylanders is an upcoming role-playing game (RPG) for Windows PCs. The story centers on the first meeting between the Celts and their gods, but the meeting goes wrong and the player's character is nearly killed. While this character is in the state of near death for approximately a thousand years, the world changes dramatically, fracturing into warring factions and flooded with magic. The outcome to the entire adventure is determined by the decisions made in the game, which results in a number of possible endings. It's up to the player to forge alliances, build up a party from nine potential companions, and venture forth to right the wrongs from that ill-fated first meeting. Along the way, players will venture to a variety of imaginative lands, deploying members of your party and using their skills during combat. A range of weapons (spears, magic, or swords) are used, but minimal blood, if any, is shown during combat. Dialogue is full of swearing (which includes "f--k" and "s--t"), and has sexual innuendo as well as female characters that are nude or semi-nude from the waist up. Also, one story threads has a son showing disrespect for his father (in this case, the prince and his relationship to the king).
