You need to defeat evil king and his generals. But you aren't his relative, choosen one, or kid with mysterious powers. You are veteran soldier, who was serving in his army. Not any general, or famous swordmaster, just a regular warrior, who decided that his liege is a dick, and left his troops. Your companions aren't elven wizards, mysterious assassins, or spunky rogue girls. They are soldiers just like you, or simple folks, who want to finaly live in peace. Equipment of your party isn't shiny, magical or legendary, just practical.In the end you don't fight the king, but help people, search for allies and in the end just lead them to the castle, to fight their ruler. And you aren't the one who kills him, but his daughter, who was supporting you in secret do it. And you don't marry her in the end/
