Old school with new ideas
Finally finished the game the first time. I will probably go for another play-through in a couple of months from now with a different faction and different choices. The game works great, I've encountered very few bugs, none game-breaking, so kudos for Obsidian for delivering a great game from the start. Now to the details, story is great, has good writing, though sometimes (rarely) your choices are narrowed down by the previous choices. I would've wished that sometimes I could have the freedom to go in a different direction (a more chaotic approach). But in 80-90% of the cases you can do just that. You can betray alliances, re-shuffle alegiances etc. Combat is good, in the style of Pillars of Eternity, lots of spells and abilities, however I played on Normal mostly to enjoy the story so it can be different on higher difficulties. Character development is great, you can start out as a fighter and develop into a mage if you want, you're not limited in any way in what type of weapons/spells you can use. I also love the way you can create new spells with different effects. Too bad other games don't have this anymore (looking at you Bethesda, for removing this great feature post-Morrowind). Crafting is ok, the selection of armor/weapons is a bit limited, for example I haven't found a way to get/craft any unique leather armor (maybe different choices would've unlocked one though). Still I think it's decent enough especially since you can upgrade any type of armor/weapon to masterwork which is the highest level. As for those who say that it's to short, I disagree, it has a decent length, not Baldur's Gate -like, but about Fallout -like. Though a better comparison would be The Witcher 2. It has enormous replay value since choices can alter your path entirely, with entire areas locking/unlocking depending on the faction you choose to side with. All in all it's a great delivery from Obsidian. I just hope it won't be ruined in the future with Paradox style DLCs.
