The combat is really good and so much fun. The game never really gets repetitive since the missions are really different. Since you have so many different abilities it keeps the game interesting and what I really like is that each new ability has 3 sections where you can spend a skill point to change the ability a little e.g. power drain has the option to do fire, poison or ice which could really help with captain's who is vulnerable to either fire, poison or ice. If you unlock all 3 sections to an ability you can switch out between the 3 sections which is realy cool. The nemesis system is amazing because you could be minding your own business and then a captain could ambush you. Or that person you killed a while ago could cheat death and come back to kill you. you may have killed someone who has a brother and then later on that captain's brother might ambush you to get revenge for killing his brother. Overall this game is amazing and definitely one of my favourite RPGs of all time.
