I have put many, many hours in already:
- Have not crashed once
- All quests have completed
- ... and I'm using the unpatched version

While the reviewer makes several valid points, my impression is similar to yours. I, too, have not crashed once, nor have I received a quest that couldn't be finished. I think this was a dissatisfied customer from the start that sunk the review on purpose because of its apparent flaws. Now, I don't like bugs and the "incomplete" feel of the game either, but I don't think it deserved an overall score of 4.0/10 and a ridiculous 5.5/10 for its graphics.
I'm playing the game at 1600x1200 and it looks better than many other recent RPGs - not to mention it blows away the graphics of any Xbox game simply by taking advantage of the performance of a PC. On top of that, I can totally change the look of my character by donning different armor and using different weapons. Not many games have different textures for every single piece of equipment (all the way down to your belt!), nor do they have magical effects for a multitude of items - an undead slaying sword that glows with a golden light, a flaming sword, a hammer that fires lightning bolts, and a sceptre of evil that randomly fires a streak of energy to name a few.
