As you've read others have thrashed this game for being shipped full of bugs. I waited till the collector's edition went on sale and started really getting into it a few weeks ago. It's a really wonderful game and I'm really enjoying it. The graphics are good enough at higher resolutions. The sound isn't the best... the footsteps actually sound annoying, and the rats are way too loud and squealy, but no biggie. The character advancement system is unique, you choose to spend points upgrading various skills or character stats, and they seem well balanced and fun to play with. You have enough variety in your choices to make it worth playing through a second time with different characters. The combat system is pretty well done... one of few games that you can actually plan out offensive and defensive moves during a fight with multiple opponents. The main complaint about the game is the lack of "life" in the game environment... they didn't bother having realistic looking characters in the cities, and even in the collector's edition the places look dead. But again, not a big deal. There are some bugs remaining with monster moves... monsters can get stuck in areas and they'll just stand there and take a beating till you kill them, but that doesn't happen often and it doesn't hang the game. I've had to big bugs that interfere with playing. For a game that you can pick up for $10 now, I wouldn't even think about picking it up, it's well worth the price and you'll enjoy playing it. I'd like to see the game developers try again and hire some more staff next time and finish the game properly.

I played the game last November. And I think I'm going to play it again. The thing I find very attractive in this game is the many hours you need to complete a simple quest. We are talking about dungeons and in thi... Read Full Review
