| Impressions?
I'm a bit surprised that no one has posted on this game, yet. I suppose its only been a couple days since its release, but that's never stopped this community before. I'd be curious to get others initial thoughts on the game.
I actually bought the LE of this game and have been playing it since it was issed in the U.S. on Tuesday. In general, I've been fairly pleased with the game. It's definitely typical Bioware in its scope, and bears many similarities in basic style and composure to KoTOR.
Still, the game is propelled by a generally interesting storyline, has a variety of unique NPCs, and is really beautiful. It's also been interesting to play an RPG that mingles together a variety of Asian mythological/fantasy/medieval traditions. While its been done before by developers like Koei, its much more rare and fullyrendered here (at least of the games I've played). It's certainly a different flavor than the traditional hodgepodge of Western mythological/fantasy/medieval traditions that tend to dominate the RPG market.
I've been a little dissappointed by the lack of a full blown party system. Regardless, its been enjoyable so far. It did take me a little while to get into the combat system and the world as a whole, but I find myself getting more and engrossed in the world as I play, and I have yet to find any portion of the game "busy work".
Anyone else have a perspective?  |
