Bay 12 Games Forum

I've been a passive lurker for the most of my life, but I've though this kind of a game might be of interest to fellow DF fans.

You are a magical student and are free to do whatever you want. Game features a rather sophisticated freeplay mechanics: you can assemble a  personal Clique of minion students, plot against competitors, spread gossips and bully others, if you like - or be a hard-working student, trying to impress the professors - or be an adventuring soul in quest for the forbidden knowledge... There are something like a hundred of skills, and believe or not, AFAIN they are all useful to some extent.

Interface of the game is bad. Seriously bad. People responsible for design have obviously never heard of usability; there are lots of rough edged here and there. Hope patches will smooth that out. Also, visual side is very simplistic: it's mostly text (LOTS of text, nicely written, though) and some static images, accompanied by classical music.

Learning curve is a bit steep, but meh, it's a DF forum.

OK, so far I have found but one...

After pick-up'ing the Socialite in juice caffe and choosing the option to try  not to spend a single penny I had "Is quite taken with unique phylosophy" and the game crashed (performed illegal operation)... Reproduced later with a teenager. When I had this option with hippie, "things didn't quite work out", and no crash  .
