This game is good! Since finishing DD I have tried several games and been disappointed in all of them for one reason or another. But this one is a keeper and I intend to buy it when it is available for sale. Of course this are my initial reactions and I reserve the right to change my mind if things take a turn for the worse.
The only things I don't like so far are
1--The minimap cannot be constantly displayed--though on the other hand this may be more realistic.
2--Weapons have so many stats on them that it is hard to make a decision on which is the best, but this will probably be clearer after I learn more.
Things I like include
1--Nice combo of action and dialogue--emphasis on action.
2--Strong similarities to D2 and DD which are my favorites.
3--Some nice touches. For instance when playing DD did it ever occur to you that the townsfolk behaved the same at all hours of the day and night? In Sacred they go indoors at night.
4--Even with settings for the lowest quality of video, the graphics look nice.
5--Even though I only meet the minimum and not the recommended requirements, the game runs smoothly and does not crash.
6--The game has a sense of humor. For instance there is one grave which is dedicated in memorium to all the monsters which have been killed to gain exp points.
