I've been playing for a couple of hours and still in the citadel and I am getting really frustrated at the pointless lever-riddles and the dungeon-crawling. I thought this was a RPG! But so far the fact that my character is a Paladin soul-bound to a Deathknight has not made any difference to the game whatsoever. If I want to play a linear dungeon-crawl I'll play Diablo II or Icewind Dale -- at least those have decent graphics. I read that the game wasn't really up to date graphic-wise, but this would barely be appropriate fo a 2000 game (not to mention the non-existent voice-acting...)
So, is the game going to get better, i.e. more role-play oriented, less linear and with better riddles or is that it?
