I've been playing the game for a little bit. To be honest, I'm not THAT impressed with it. The graphics are real nice, so is the music, absolutely no complaints there. Good atmosphere and everything is just right. Storyline is complicated and people have alot to say.. there are many books you can read through.. all nice things.

However the combat so far seems boring and derivative to me, skill gains are horribly slow, and its easy to get lost or disoriented.. Hopefully this will change as I get to know the world better, but on first impression, the gameplay is lackluster.. at least for a combat-oriented character. I guess I'm spoiled on Wizardry 8 though =) Its definitely unlike any traditional RPG. That can be a good thing, but it can be a let down for some too.. *shrugs*

First impressions aren't always the most important, it may grow on me.
