The premise, in the publisher's words
It has been a hundred years since the world saw the fall of the once great Edoran Empire at the hands of an unprecedented plague that swept the nation. In the turmoil and uncertainty that has followed, mercenary work, banditry and thievery across the land is abundant, as honor has long since become an almost entirely forgotten virtue.

An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 30GB.
