Do not play, or set a timer, if you are easily addicted to games like Avernum or Geneforge, you will lose all sense of time. Graphics are average at best, but it has the old time feel to it that many modern RPGs seem to be missing, an emphasis on the story and the mechanics of the game. I've only loaded this game up twice, but both times I have completely lost track of time finding myself still playing at 6 am. This is really bad when you have work in a couple hours.
