]]> GreedFall invites the player to discover a distant, fictional island in which the 17th century European Baroque aesthetic is recreated with great skill, encouraging the player to discover its landscape through exploration and diplomacy. Although there are supernatural elements in its colonialist plot, the historical representation of the period weapons and armour featured in the game, as well as the pursuit of verisimilitude in the architecture of the different cities visited during the game, are particularly noteworthy.
During the numerous conversations in the game, and doing justice to the role-playing genre to which the game belongs, the characters often tend to be overexposed, expressing all kinds of facts about the historical background or the customs of certain personalities.
Other topics such as the political and social consequences of the plagues, the struggle of reason against faith among the citizens and the spirituality of this chronology are also dealt with, and the cultural and political conflicts between the different peoples of the island, each with their own cultural traits and costumes, are treated with particular success.
