hope that helps.

That does, time to get review reading

I'd love GTA online style gameplay where you can just roam free and stuff, rather than needing to point and click before every action.

The game is very similar to Dungeon Siege in that you can roam free. Movement is WASD controlled or you can right click on where you want to go (playing on the PC).

Combat is designed so that you point at the individual/monster that you want to attack and you can modify your attack by selecting various attributes from a ready bar, such as a "critical blow" or apply "venom" to your weapon, etc.

Ive logged 13 hours, it would be double that if I needed no sleep. THIS GAME ROCKS!

How much of a spiritual sucessor of Baldur's Gate it is? >.>

Anyway, is it like Neverwinter Nights and others gameplay or real time combat like most RPGs?

Thanks to everyone for their feedback on this game, sounds like you are all having fun with it.

I'm going to have to try and pick it up soon.

Ive read its more like KOTOR than NWN combat wise... but not like either of them at the same time. If that helps?



- My copy is officially in the post! I was going to get the Collectors Edition, but I was able to get the plain one for $33. So I decided that was a more viable option

took the plunge and got the game, its awesome so far the story is great, im a rogue elf who had his wife kidnapped.

[Dakaruch]

I might get this one soon actually, and hopefully the collector's edition, payed by my sister. :3
The game looks amazingly awesome, can't wait to play it.

I'm counting down the days until the 20th, the games PS3 release here in the UK. Assassin's Creed will also be released here on the same day so two games I look forward to playing.

Can't wait 'till this gem gets released on PS3 in the UK. I'm glad to see it getting some good reviews. I've wanted a good, solid rpg for so long now!
