It's an AMAZING game with is own personal identity and you if you like actual RPGs with both good strategic combat, interesting world building with intelligent writing and a lot of text to read and choices to make, this is the game for you. It doesn't even suffer from the usual shortcomings of other "deep" games. It's approachable, the rules are not hard to understand and even offer a wide variety of difficulty settings both for those that don't want to be bothered by the combat and for the "hardcore" audience that wants that deep strategic combat. The fact that is aesthetically so pleasing just helps even more, some maps are so beautiful that you will stop to just admire them. It's a refined game like no other in the genre, especially design and balance wise. I feel that while it has been said a lot about it, rarely it has been treated fairly especially from those people that are so busy comparing this and other newer games to old glories (not seeing THEIR shortcomings) to not see and acknowledge the bunch of good things in them.
