An epic RPG that is perfect!
It's all around great.. visuals, sound, characters, skill system, combat system, exploration.
This is my perfect game, alongside such original classics as Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, etc.
Combat system is simple and straightforward... and totally fair.
What you can do, so can npcs & vice versa.
I played a mage and was teleport-dodging around while flinging bolts and making explosions.
It is simple, but effective and fun.
The exploration of this island is WONDERFUL!
Beautiful, vast and no need to run your ass off to travel; it has a baldur's gate like travel between areas system, as well as a campfire teleport location in many spots around the larger maps!
The story is a slow burn, high payoff sort of thing with some surprises in store.
Of course, if you are a veteran of hundreds of RPG's, you'll probably see a few of them coming.
Loot boxes are all over the cities and often around open maps as well.
These level with you, so you might get random crafting ingredients and a few coins or you might get a hat, etc that you'll use till the end game.
Best of all, these respawn often when you are away for a bit and come back.
The crafting system is simple and useful!
Even if you never use bombs, there is at least one type which is used in a few quests.
As a mage, I ended up going for the throw bombs section of the rogue tree at end game, when I already had all the mage abilities; this gave me a reason to use all those bombs I'd been finding in chests, etc.
The characters can be surprisingly deep at times... one you'll think is an absolute shit can turn out to be a not bad guy and vice versa.
You will make choices and they will matter.
You are encouraged to play the good guy here and it works quite well.
The ONLY thing I can think to criticize this game for is that fact that end game creatures get rather large hitpoints pools.
Seriously, that's the only thing I can think of that is at all even slightly annoying!
