I like the gameplay, but I'm the kind of person who also likes to progress at a regular pace so that there's always some new skills or abilities to play with. Unfortunately this game feels like it's all padding--even gaining a single level up is a slog. It requires 2,500 experience. Starting quests will give 100 to 250. Killing an enemy and barely scraping by with your life gets you about 25 experience. Your character is ravenously hungry and thirsty all the time. The fact that everything is made to take up your time makes me worry that there isn't a lot there... That the time spent in the game is all just grinding. I put about six hours in so far, and I'm just having a hard time enjoying myself with this.
