This RPG is hands down the best I have played in a long time. Your choices throughout the game affect the outcome later on, and the consequences of your actions really come into play. The origin characters are fleshed out and all have brilliant voice actors and riveting stories to share. Combat is strategic and, at times, unforgiving - make the wrong move during your turn and it could be a full party wipe! Careful planning and tactile are required. Act I and II move rather slowly, but for good reason. You're meant to explore the vast world Larian Studios have masterfully crafted, and the secrets each area has to offer. My only real gripe with the game is that I went into the game completely blind, and this led me to making a lot of mistakes in Act I and II that affected the story and my character's attributes. But I wouldn't have it any other way; discovering this game spoiler free was amazing, and I wish I could go back and play it again for the first time, and rediscover the magic of Rivellon. Truly a wonderful game, and for less than the usual $60 retail price.
