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!

Define RPG, for complete idiots such as me.

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.

What do you expect?

If I want to play a linear dungeon-crawl I'll play Diablo II or Icewind Dale -- at least those have decent graphics.

Oh, please do! It would spare us of more whining. Someone throw me a piece of camambert.

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...)

Oh really? And I take Diablo 2 had top notch graphics?
You know, there's an excellent word which, although I dislike to use, I find myself using more and more often. It's "Graphic Doubleyou Eighch Oh Are Ee".

So, is the game going to get better, i.e. more role-play oriented, less linear and with better riddles or is that it?

What if I yes? Would you stop whining? What if no? Is it a good reason for you to commit a suicide?
