I am 12 hours into the game and I ... like it.
positive:
+ story driven
+ many little side-quests
+ much micromanagement, crafting, healing
+ slow combat with pause (like BG)
+ no rest & heal, you have to bandage yourself
+ stat driven, lots of necessary AND unnecessary things to learn
+ low level gear and weapons, you really have to search for good magic treasure
+ much dialogue - but no full speech - much dialogue can only be read
+ very good trading system - you never have enough money
+ fast load times
+ nearly bug free
negative:
- the automatic game camera could be better
- more party interaction would be nice, maybe there's more to come
- (for adults) target group: young teenagers, no heavy adult themes, topics so far, everything is a bit too n i c e
Traditional old school RPG - not as brilliant as the Witcher, but good. Like the old Dark Eye games the game is very good for beginners.
[Maybe we get a new generation of hardcore RPGers!]
