I've tried to play from time to time for the last 2 years or so but as much as I like reading (I really enjoyed Pillars of Eternity) I thought that Age of Decadence had a little bit too much fluff for what it wanted to present. In some instances I felt it tried to replace the actual game space (what you see) with text rather than complement it with flavour. I think the game would have done better with me if it tried to spice up what I already processed and understand rather than trying to re-explain what I already get just by looking at the game. After a while it became numbing to filter out the important stuff from the things that didn't matter to you as a player.
I really like the setting though, I hope it does well.
