I tried. I sure did. I logged a couple hours on my first playthrough, restarted, and logged a couple hours on my second playthrough. Not my bag. The combat is senseless (no parrying, no patterns, unforgiving), map is referenceless, and there's no leveling system (as far as I can tell from my < 6 hours of play)
I haven't played this game since it first came out and it feels even better than the first time. If you've been holding out, pull the trigger
I love me a good ol fashioned RPG. Unfortunately, this one is too good at what it's supposed to do. I'm always overwhelmed by the amount of items, crafting options, containers, lore, etc. I prefer something along the lines of Fallout where it defines what's junk and what's usable. I love the animations and the amount of skills available. The fact that any class can use any skill - how cool! Overall, I think it's a definite improvement from the first game but, I cut out early on that one because it was too overwhelming also lol
