PLaying the game myself now and i have to say i have mixed feelings about it. Everything in the game has a mix of good and bad, for example the graphics are beautifull, but the animations are very poor and there's a lot of stuttering in the openworld that is very very anoying.
PLaying with an ATI 5870 at 1920x1200, with always over 60FPS and vertical Sync activated, the game always has some kind of stuttering that doesnt make the experience smooth, when i move the mouse around, it always seems that the screen gets divided in half where one part is rendered ahead of the other, its very distracting.
About the gameplay, a few things could be done to make the experience more enjoyable, for example, having to target 50 containers in a small dungeoun to check if they are empty or not is tiredsome, few junk containers pleazor!
The combat in itself is nice (i'm playing ranger style), but it seems i'm either 1 shotting monsters, or i have to spend 30 seconds on each, it seems the dificulty balance is not very progressive!
The NPCs are brilliant. Some clichés here and there (and some faces that are too similar) but generaly they are quite fun to talk to and we never get bored of starting another conversation. The mind-reading is always a choice we ponder (Especialy when its over 400XP a cost) and the quests are in an ideal number (not too many, not too few).
Generaly i'm enjoying this game a lot. i Havent got the battle tower nor the necromancy ally not even the dragon form, wich are suposedly the strong parts of the game, and i'm already enjoying it a lot, but sometimes i just think "oh my, this game was so easy to be made perfect, why didnt they change this ...".
For example, the bow firing sound is wimpy. The fact that we have a normal "physical damage" bow and we still fire a magic arrow is kinda disapointing, especialy since it makes a "pee pee" sound, oh well, hoping it changes later with better weapons lol.
