I won't lie this game is really great when it comes to story and character development (well, i know it's subjective but i really liked it so far). The difficulty is manageable but on the higher levels (hard/unfair) the game just become a "save scum" game wich make most people complaining about an uneven difficulty. The bigest problem with the game though is the bugs. There is simply too many of bugs, some are game breaking, others are quest breaking, ability breaking, save breaking or just little anoyances... in the end you just can't bare it anymore and decide to stop playing until they fix everything (it took me 50 hours for me to make that decision btw). This is why i don't recommend it right now, if you want to buy it wait christmas or wait for the definitive edition (at least you'll be sure that most of the bugs are fixed). I am pretty sure though that after a year i'll be able to 5 star this game and recommend it to everyone.
