This game makes me sad
There are no where near enough side quests or environments to explore. The main quest is rent-worthy short. Searching for books and gnomes became tedious fast. 'Friending' NPC's and doing the fetch quests is also tedious and turns out to be completely useless as the end game *spoiler* is based on how much money you have amassed. Magic is way OP, and combat itself is mainly fighting mobs that are uninteresting and require no strategy. I also recommed upping the difficulty right off the bat, I used 3 health potions in the entire game and was knocked unconcious twice. The in game economy feels completely tagged on, other than some jewellery I needed for quests I never bought anything other than real estate and clothes, and unlike Fable 3 where food was vital I never had to eat ever.
It does look quite nice, is very well voice acted and the sancutuary/menu system is great. Some of the side quests are very inventive and quite fun to play through.
