I'm really enjoying the game. I'm 5 hours into the game. This is a story rich game to the extent that its companion manual contains an excellent introductory story. You will interact with various NPCs throughout the game, who will tell titbits of the story, give you some advice and free items, trade items and give you side quests. Some will even fight you! I really like the play mechanics; You can completely rely on the mouse to move your character and interact with the environment i.e. taking\using items and interact with UI to 'memorize' spells and casting them, control hands actions when equipped with items. the other option is to use both the mouse and keyboard shortcuts especially in tight situations!
