Excellent game found by accident
I received this game for free during a promotion from GOG. I hadn't heard of it but tried it on a lark. Man am I glad I did! The concept is slightly different from typical role playing games with more fighting. There's a bit of a learning curve in the beginning and the earliest fights were so hard and unforgiving that I almost quit before the game really started. DON'T give up! The reward is totally worth it! Once you're familiar with how to fight and use spells and start getting some quality weapons this game is mostly a total open concept system full of dozens and dozens of quests, HUGE maps and interesting enemies. The storyline is much like other role playing games but still interesting. I found the graphics to be excellent. The Easter eggs are awesome and the random stats on weapons make it a little different each time you play. At times it could be a bit glitchy but not enough to lower the score for me. I didn't really like the item storage concept where there are no slots just stuff piled one on another. To offset that there are apparently dozens of item combinations from forming new potions to making recipes to makeshift weapons and armour. The spells were excellent and complex and a very enjoyable and useful part of the game. If you like role playing type games and you're looking for something new you should love this game! As a Baldur's Gate fan this is a role playing game of a very high quality and sort of in that vein.
