Ironic, really, given that I started a thread on how *not* to do just that.
There's a lot to like about the game, and indeed it got me hooked worse than most games in past years. I liked it a lot early on, but got progressively more disillusioned the longer I played. Its recurrent habit of stringing you along for a while and then dumping on you just got too much for me. In a nutshell:
(1) It has way too many imbalances: situations or attacks that can't be defended against or handled except by save-reload, *even* when you're at quite high level (I was around 50 when I quit). Examples: much of the wildlife at low(ish) level, the fireballs and ice lances at high(er) levels, many set-piece battles.
(2) It has way too many bugs. The memory leak that causes save-game corruption is one of the worst, but quests that are broken to start with or break through completely innocent and clearly unintended actions are almost as bad.
So, I uninstalled the game and deleted my saves as well. I might give it another try in a year, if patches have brought it to some kind of decent shape.
