I don't understand the awful reviews I'm reading here. Granted some are valid like the companion AI sometimes being a nuisance. For example they can get in the way on a narrow platform. And the loot coming in overwhelming amounts leading to a cluttered inventory, however the good far out weighs the bad. The combat is absolutely delightful and does not get old to me. The magic is actually very good if you know how to scale your character. Your fire spells will not do a lot of damage if you don't commit virtue points to the fire tree. The customization and build variety is great! You can make different loadout builds and switch to them on the fly. The difficulty is perfect and the morale system is a great take on progression level to level. I really do recommend you try it of your a fan of challenging combat based rpgs. You won't be dissapointed. And lastly to tiny graphical bugs and artifacts will all be sorted out with patches in the future.
