At first the game was a little slow. It took a while to get used to the Interface, because I have been playing the Neverwinter Nights & 2 series for a while. Once you get rolling with this game you wont be disappointed. The way your characters level up is great, because you get to pick where your AV points get distributed. Pick wisely how you distribute those points when playing the game. It makes a big difference towards the end. For fighters make sure you boost up your ST,AG,CN, otherwise they will be slow and awkward in battle. I stuck with my Thief/Mage the whole time for my Spellcaster. The Battles were hard, but not impossible like in some of the other RPG games. There was only one battle that was annoying, but I will let you find out which one it is. The Graphics are great too.
The Con: Only one (The Camera angles). The Germans did it right. NILATOR.
