So, I like playing CYOA games in my free time, and since all this requires is quoting the story and options as well as showing you guys the stats, it doesn’t require much effort on my part.

Also, this is inspired by Enemy Posts choice of magic game.

The sky is slashed with jagged tears of fire. They are like wounds upon reality itself and cast everything in a harsh red light. The land before you is cracked and dry. There is nothing growing from the parched dirt your feet rest upon. You stand with your army behind you. They wear bright armour and hold sharp swords, although their equipment is dented and scratched from many battles. Your faithful companions are at your side.

You survey the mass of creatures before you. Their numbers are without limit as they stretch across the horizon. Many of them are somewhat man-shaped, but twisted, as though they are the nightmares of what man could be. Some of them have leathery wings, many have sharp claws and most of them have great yellow horns protruding from their heads. They are the denizens of the demon realm, come to lay waste to your world.

"Am I too late?" a disembodied voice says from nearby. "Is it over already?"

Do you want this character to have the Legacy Advantage?

Yes, give me the Legacy Advantage.
No, don't give this character the Legacy Advantage.

(The Legacy advantage opens up a supplemental story which intertwines itself through all three parts of the trilogy. It also gives the character a head-start with regards to skills. The advantage isn't needed in order to enjoy the games or get the ending you desire, but if you'd like to see some more story or enjoy a boost to your character, you can accept.)

(In case it wasn’t clear, you guys vote for the option you want.)

I am going to guess that's a New Game + option, right? Because otherwise it would just be stupid. I mean, it's still terrible game design, but at least if I assume it's a New Game + option I can imagine that it's terrible game design the developers stuck on at the end as an afterthought, not how they actually seriously believed they should open.

If that's the case, you would have done better to start from a clean slate as if you have freshly installed the game, without any options like that, since we as a forum have not finished this before.

No, I replay this game a lot and so I bought it. It was only 99 cents, I think. All it does is add story and gives you some boosted stats.)

[Knightwing64]

Since all it does is add more content, I’m just going to accept it.

One of the demons steps forward, leading the group. It stands at over seven feet. It swings a claw through the air, seeming to rend the very air in front of it. It unfurls its wings and takes to the sky. Everyone around you tenses as it flies straight toward you.

Draw your glowing rune-covered sword.
Signal for the catapults to fire.
Loose an arrow from your enchanted bow.
Cast a mighty spell.
Command your army to advance.

Your words and hand motions warp reality to your whim. Your army takes this as a command and surges forward, screaming their defiance at the otherworldly beasts before them.
(Magic +3)

You awaken from a good night's sleep with the lingering memory of a dream fading in the morning light. It's a beautiful room with an enormous four-pillar canopy bed, expensive mahogany dressers, and priceless tapestries. Your twelve years of life have been filled with the finest things money could buy. As the first-born heir to the Kingdom of Daria, you expect such things. Your ancestors have been ruling Daria for many years and you exhibit many of their finest qualities.
(Legacy Advantage #1: Agility +10, Charm +10, Endurance +10, Perception +10, and Strength +10. More perks will arrive as the story progresses.)

You throw back the thick, luxurious covers and get out of bed. You see that your clothes have already been laid out for you on the dresser.

You are the Prince of Daria.
You are the Princess of Daria.

+1, never give women jobs

The clothes are of the highest quality; their cost in gold could probably feed a poor family for a month. You dress quickly, eager to begin the day. Next to your clothing is your prized possession.

A spellbook.
A holy symbol.
A sword.
A set of lockpicks.
A beautiful bow and quiver of arrows.
A masterfully crafted lute.
