This game caught me off guard. I had seen the demo and wasn't impressed by some of the systems and mechanics (and some of them are still a bit simplistic), but when you look beyond the pieces and get to all of them running together and you have a masterpiece. Hats off to the designers, developers, artists, etc. involved because they took the traditional expectations of an RPG and game you something so immersive that it actually felt like playing a movie - in a way that I had not experienced in my days of gaming, and I've been doing this since before Atari 2600. I'm not going to spoil anything and just say - this game is worth your time. All of it.
