I'd say the game lacks polish, but then so did <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />. There are very few isometric RPGs about, at least compared to FPS games, so I'll take what I can, but if there were more I might not have brought <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> I think the big problem is trying to cover too many genres. You just can't do Ultima and Diablo in the same game. For all the hype the tactical nature and clever story is non-existent. Now Baldurs Gate 2, there was tactical combat, especially the Throne of Bhaal add-on. Planescape Torment, that had the story. Fallout, that had the smart quests/npc interaction. Sadly <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> doesn't have any of them. It's not terrible, but so far it rates average, and only get's a thumbs up since there is so little to compare it to today.
