Combat is complete garbage, the game is uncomfortably misogynistic the whole way through, the entire Curst chapter is dull as chopsticks, and yet...

Still one of the Top 5 CRPGs, IMO. It's thematically consistent in narrative and quest design in a way that little else is, assuming you play the game on its terms (just be a Mage, alright?). Deionarra's sensory stone is an all-timer moment for the entire genre.
