It's a great game that gets way too much praise from rabid fanboys looking through rose tinted glasses. The reviews labelled "tastiest rpg in years", and "looking for dragon age? look elsewhere", make me ashamed of appreciating the same game as them. I know the gaming community has always had it's holier than thou, "the games I enjoy are awesome, and everything else sucks", mentality people, but they bring it to a whole new level. I enjoy games for what they are, not what I think they should be. I enjoy the witcher, and mass effect for their experiences, and I enjoy this for what it offers, which is good old tactical, old-school rpg action, that refuses to hold you hand. That said, they might as well have called this game "Baldur's gate tribute", instead of anything else, because that's what this is. It touches on all the great aspects of those games, while doing absolutely nothing to innovate, or add to the genre. If you like Baldur's Gate II/Planescape: Torment, or any tactical top down rpg, buy this, it's fantastic, if not, that's cool as well, but this is probably not the game for you. You see? it's really not that hard to praise a game and genre, without being a condescending prick, and I managed to be objective the entire time. I guess I'm just crazy that way.
