If this didn't have the story mode option I would not have finished it. I don't think I've ever had to lower difficulty like that before. I hate the gameplay. Its not that I don't understand it or whatever, I just really don't like it. The story is fine, feels more like setup for 2 than it's own thing. Dorn is cool. Having him in a party of good/neutral was fun. I actually liked Neera a good bit, her quest was fun.
