Well the game arrived at my doorstep too. Sorry I am a bit late I was playing BD.
impressions:
the voices are <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> except for the first line of the DK after that it's a good voice. larian should realy work on the first exppression.
skill system: <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/down.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
I'm 50/50 on this now. I've been saving up my skill point till my dk mage/archer and warrior gets a decent spell to put my points in. The problem I have is that i miss the WOW effect when adding 1 skill point to the accuracy of my bow.
I've been seriously investing in intelligence while using no spells (yet). all my skill point are going to my bow for now (as backup when my mana is low).
As I am playing on 1.42 I had NO bugs at all. engine is very stable ( <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> crached 10 times a day om my pc). But I am not that far in the game either.
addictiveness: I will now end this post because I want to play <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />. Also I will be posting less on this forum and more playing the game. (posting on here will have to wait till work <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />) (Mandrake where is that stasis pod again will trade cryogenic chamber <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />)
things I miss <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" />
personal traits
the huge game world of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> (screw those guys that said "we need direction") I want a huge game world.
But don't be mistaken this game one of the best RPG's. It plays smooth and is addictive. Theire things in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> that are improvements on <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> but also vice versa. I hope that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />˛ will be "the best of both worlds" (not the star trek episoe with to borg to avoid confusion)
I credit the team for daring to inovated and experiment with stuff instead of releasing an expansion pack.
Overall I give this 8.7 /10
