As well as being a clerk at your parents’ general store, you can also choose between being a guard, a scribe, a farmer, or a thief.
You get to have fun, too, like playing in chess tournaments, sparring, reading at the library, exploring necromancer’s caves, exploring the woods, and finding romance with the other villagers.
