I've only managed to get 6 levels in until my patience ran out. Well, 6 levels on my 1st attempt, because I originally started on the normal difficulty, where you can't save in dungeons, which very quickly got old, with having to retry an entire dungeon because of a mistake at the end. The combat isn't exciting nor are dungeons procedurally generated to warrant this repetition. I restarted on casual difficulty, but it only improved things marginally. Despite the world being open, there's obviously a linear progression in mind between areas with distribution of enemies of a particular level. But the quests don't take your level into account, and may send you to an impossible area. So you end up wandering around, by trial and error trying to find the next quest that is appropriate for your level. I've read that it's easier with the Warrior or Cleric classes, whereas I chose Rogue, but honestly I'm too tired of this game to start again. Lastly, the skills system, and how the whimpiness of my rogue meant that after every encounter I'd stand around for half a minute waiting for my skills to recharge. This got old too.
