not perfect, but an incredible game that reminds me of what it felt like when 'your choices matter' games first started being created. as a huge dragon age: origins fan, i say this game reminded me a lot of da:o in the best way possible. i eagerly look forward to my next playthrough and anticipate in full sincerity that it can and will be drastically different based on my choices.

my hangups are largely with some weak writing in the late game and some things that bother me about the actual system (initiative being a 1d4, some interesting pathing, etc).

i did finish the game on patch 5 & hotfix 15, so many of the bugs, unfinished content, and poor performance problems were fixed.
