dragonform isnt a gimick - its really cool. It could just be used better... in more ways, in more areas. Believe me, its awesome when you can fly around as a dragon... but theres not enough places to fly! At the same time, the game doesnt suffer at all from the horrible feeling of wasting time walking places. Theres always an adventure just a few steps off.
...And it would be very cool to work in a way to be able to fight the ground units and not have them fade away, but I understand the balance issues. (ironic, isnt it :ţ )
The combat is great, the graphics are great, theres innovation all over the place. There just isnt enough and half of what is there doesnt feel finished.
you gotta play it though, i was having so much fun most the time it put oblivion to shame, and i couldn't play more than a few hours of fallout3 before falling asleep. A good 30 hours of fun to be had, and I appear to have missed a LOT. Never did work out what was going on in the room of chickens.
2 more DVDs of content and a different ending and it could be the best game ever.
Also, the game deserves an honourable mention for not breaking itself up into DLC (downloadable content) - something which is potentially going to ruin gaming. We may one day see ourselves just buying an engine and paying per monster, sound, texture. :O At least Div2 is a full game. (mostly :P)
