The first 1/3rd of the game before you enter the dungeon area is pretty fun. After you enter that place, its all downhill. This one is a maybe pick up later but probably not
Pros:
Fun early combat that completely breaks when against not humanoid enemies and slowly later on in the game
Goofy kicking and barrel throwing that works super well early on
the 2 goofy love interests, complete with evil or good choice, Arkane couldn't write a good story even back then
Cons:
The pit of pain that the dungeon is, the main area of the game, endless spiders and undead and poison status effect
the combat slowly becomes less fun as you get stronger
Constant crashing by default on windows 10 if you don't install a 4gb patch of some kind. The game was not built with 1080p in mind and as such only supports 1.5-2gb of ram max by default depending on your definition of ram. If it hits using more than that, say during a loading area or a lot of enemies, it crashes immediately. Install a generic 4gb max ram for 32 bit applications patch, ntcore, to generally fix this. Might still crash but way less.
4/10 overall, 8/10 just the first 1/3rd to the dungeon area. Really just play that.
