+Great melee combat
+Beautiful world that is enjoyable to travel and has lots of little touches
+Overall great attention to detail, and historical accuracy is top notch if that's something that jingles your bells
+Story is well presented with mostly good voice acting and great pre-rendered cutscenes
-Quests are often mundane and annoying. This is mostly a problem with sidequests, but sometimes the main story requires you to do one or more of these side quests.
-The story is badly paced and ends very abruptly. The main story isn't ended in a satisfying way at all, and it seems like it will be resolved in a sequel.
-The game overall has a slow pace that isn't for everyone, and can start to grate even on someone patient at times.
-Very long loading screens. Area transitions, cutscenes and even resting put me in a loading screen for up to a minute, and SSD didn't seem to help at all.
