Great game, bit quirky
As someone who's used to Elder Scrolls and third person action games, the combat in this game is a bit difficult to get used to. People expecting one to one execution wont get it, it's not a turn-based game, nor is it a 3rd person action game, rather the combat is a matter of picking the appropriate fighting style and clicking at the appropriate moment to continue a combo. First time players like myself may find themselves clicking a lot and as a result not doing anything at all. Once you get past the combat, the game is very enjoyable. Alchemy has always appealed to me and while there is some magic involved in the game, the making and drinking of potions and poisons is very important. The graphics are a bit dated by this point, but overall for the story and the dialogue it's definitely worth playing.
