I think it's fascinating how close it feels to dream logic, things kinda make sense when you suspend your disbelief and go with the flow, but the world is constantly shifting around you.
One thing I noticed is that you can't leave too much up the the algorithm:
If you say:
>look for books on restoration magic
It can just tell you: "you found nothing but read a book about gardening instead."
If you instead do:
>gather knowledge on restoration magic
It moves the story forward because the direction supposes that the knowledge is already there.
It's pretty good about responding to actions but not so great at responding to questions.
