The story and character creation are fun and the presets are great for those wanting to just dive in real quick and see what's going on. The game is tough for someone just diving into it and the does a terrible job explaining how many mechanics work and how it translates skill checks as well as combat effects at all. The game would be forgivable for that considering that it can lower the difficulty and make things easier to deal with, but the added advent of fatigue while traveling and carry weight makes it far too much like a simulator than a tactical rpg. While this feels more like a game i'd like to try out more, the line i couldn't cross was the game freezing my computer after i tried to exit it after playing for about 2 hours. that will keep me from playing this again until i hear its been patched to keep things like that from happening.
