The first new feature and choice than you come across is the ability to choose whether your hero is to be a girl or boy, this is just the first of the many choices you will get to take throughout the game.

For all of you Halifax savers clutching your heart thinking what’s wrong with poor Howard, it’s not really Howard Brown, the man pictured on the right, which looks alot like…
