The battle system is bland. The Witcher may have been a clicking simulator to some, but it was still better than this. The dialogue is a load of Mass Effect/Dragon Age-like toss. In The Withcher, you chose what the character said. Here, you click a 2-word phrase, and the character goes off on a tangent spanning several sentences. But the best part is, you can't drink potions in battles. That's kind of their purpose? Instead of hitting the hotkey assigned to a potion you have to be out of battle, use the quick select wheel to choose "meditate", then click "drink potion", then choose up to 3 potions, then wish you had the physical copy to snap the dvd. The only improvement I am able to detect is that now your inventory is limited by carrying capacity, not the number of items you carry. Still, having a limited inventory is the recipe for extremely dull times, so the best way to improve it would've been to get rid of the limit altogether.
