Pros: - shitloads of fighting - past a certain point you can just murder your way to the finish (screw quests: i just wanna kill everything!) - heaps of enemies, weapons, spells, classes and strategy - visually pleasing (but will run on your shitty laptop) Cons: - will be hated by anyone who isn't a big fan of the genre - steep learning curve (from someone whose most similar gaming experience was neverwinter nights) - frustrating and difficult starting at level 1 - lacks refinement (discussed later) - horrible dialogue and quests (skip as much as you can) If you love heaps of turn-based combat and creating/levelling/managing a DnD party, this game is great and i loved playing it (esp. for $6). But know that the quests/plot/dialogue are dogshit and the game lacks refinement (even with mods) in areas like item/skill descriptions, ease of character creation, user interface, streamlined questing etc. This is definitely a cult classic for the hardcore fans of the genre.
