Nice game with a little bugs here and there. Terrific storyline but the character interactions with NPC can be better.

Overall this is a brilliant game. Perhaps I am a Bioware fan. Compared to its previous works such as KOTOR and KOTOR2, JE definitely has improved its gameplay and interface. Nonetheless, there is still alittle glitches here and there, for example you can't change the stance when you are travelling because when you entered combat, the stance will be the last stance you used when you were in combat.

Character grooming is also not very in depth. Kind of makes me feel that Bioware simply rushed out this game to satisfy the "urge" of D&D gamers. Compared to KOTOR or KOTOR2, or even NWN series, I feel that there is a lack of progress for the NPC. Seriously I was expecting a little more about exploring the backgrounds or seeing the influence of me on my followers. But unfortunately it is not in the game. I guess the best part to the game is the fast loading time and the improved movie clips as well as the graphics between major fights or key events. Hopefully, the next game that Bioware make can have more in depth storyline and let us influence our followers more. If it can be open ended, I guess that will definitely add to the replay value.
