My playthrough has been great so far; I'm experiencing none of the opitimization issues that other reviewers had mentioned, one of last three or four the rapid fire patches must've fixed many of those issues. I find the story engaging, the combat fun, and I love to tinker with a try to influence the world and it's species. The platforming bits can be a little wonky, but this isn't a platformer so I tend to treat them more like the old style slightly inconvenient mini game inserted into adventure RPG to break things up. I really enjoy the game and think that it's a great buy for anyone interested in a slightly rough, there are only 7 people working on the entire game so some roughness is expected, adventure game where the main focus is interacting with a living world based around it's own functions and rules rather than just revolving around the player and progressing down the paths you choose for it. I had two allied speces and as I helped them in a raid/invasion of an enemy village they casually invaded the village of my other (weaker) ally without any input for me. A really interestign and fun game
Stars are based on other reviews, I was sadly never able to play this game. It does not work on my 65 bit Windows 7.
