Everything about this game is a nuisance or a buggy mess. Nothing about the game manages to avoid serious problems, each instance of which would be a dealbreaker. Don't waste your money like I did. I just gave up playing this. Despite all the money I spent on it, I only managed to stomach a five hours of it, at which point I literally just closed it in the middle of some dialog, dejected and miserable, without bothering to even save, and immediately unistalled it. Here's a few issues that just scratch the surface of why this game is so bad. - The combat system is a confusing mess. The game presents you with some ugly low-res UI elements that overlay themselves on top of the enemy that's "fighting" you, obsuring your immersive view of the game with a colorful mess. You select some direction by awkwardly pushing your mouse around (that's right, normally the mouse is used to look around, but right in the middle of adventuring suddenly it's used to choose things from an awkward UI instead, and during that time you can't look around anymore) - I experienced serious game-ruining bugs several times, and not just the usual 'some thread is racing and randomly you experience issues'. That can be understandable, but these were bugs that should have been caught by QA, like if you bind the same key twice, it will not let you save the binds, which is fine, but even after you fix it, it will still not let you save. Exiting the menu and going back still doesn't let you. You have to quit the game and start over. They obviously forgot to unset the flag. That's a really basic bug to find, especially for an expensive title like this. I could describe a few other equally negligent bugs, but this review will be long enough already. - You don't get to roleplay. "Your" character already has a set personality and desires. Unlike what you would expect from a competent action RPG, you don't seem to be able to carve your own path. For example, in ... oh this thing has a character limit?
