I'm finally done with Swansong. God, it has been over a year since I stalled it too. Honestly, the game is rather great. It's just very hard to get into, but once you manage to, it grows on you. The council was the same, I suppose. I think I enjoyed it more than Shadows of New York even. For me, the game stands on par with Heartless Lullaby and Redemption. With only Bloodlines and Vampyr even better. I liked the diversity of the story and enjoyed the rich universe. The game was sadly cheap in terms of production, as there are bugs, bland characters and music. The gameplay was pretty meh too. But that's not enough to ruin the sheer amount of worldbuilding presented in place. Also, it's nice that vampires are incorrigibly evil. It's dark and gritty.
