I gotta tell you, this was a surprise. I had heard this game being compared to Diablo and Ultima 7. Really didn't think this game had a chance at being that good. But I was wrong, It starts off kind of slow. If you can get past that first town you'll discovery how amazing this game really is. It's so easy to get into and play once you are past that first stupid town. I wouldn't put it above Ultima 7, it does lack any kind of close interaction with items, it also is missing the cool side quests that get you lost in the game. That also makes it easier to follow and keep track of where you are at in the game, like Diablo 2. This certainly is a must play game and easily the top 5 best RPG titles that I've played.
