Product reviews...
Fantastic 3rd person RPG, will keep you entertained for hours.
Pros:
- Nice easy-to-pick-up combat system using mouse clicks.
- Immersive environments that feel open and somewhat gritty.
- One of the few games with a bit more of a mature audience.
- Pretty graphics and a rewarding levelling/skills system.
- Long gameplay and great replayability.
- Great music and minigames for when you want to have a bit of a break from monster killing.
Cons:
- Combat would be nicer if you could set up some keyboard controls for it, mouse clicking all the time is fairly taxing, especially with the length of time youll end up playing (fortunately movement can be keyboard controlled).
Overall this is a brilliant game, I would probably say its the best rpg I've played to date with a great immersive storyline and lots of interesting characters along the way. Will undoubtedly keep you up till 6 in the morning without you realizing it and depending on the player, there's a good 40-60 hours of gameplay, especially with the side quests and tavern games.
Youll definitely be tempted to replay the game as there are three distinct paths to take with leveling, also there is the 'jack of all trades' approach and various alternate ways of completing quests.
