Worth buying?

But I suspect he/she wants to hear the attractions of the game from the people who best know it. That being the case, he has come to the right place.

And we can discuss the negatives, too. At least some of us aren't blind to 'em. NPC interaction, for example: it stinks. In an unmodded game, you get generic responses to a ton of questions from just about everybody. Multiple choice dialog trees are short, uninteresting, and seldom lead to truly distinct branches.

I've read some people say the hand to hand combat sucks, and I've also read that somewhere else. Is it comparable to or better than "Thief"? (the first one).
Oh, and by the way, I be a "he".

Yeah the npc interaction is annoying and also you might find that the game has just a few glitches, for instance my guy seems to have a fondness for falling through floors to his death, and when seling high priced items it takes forever to lower the cost to what the merchant can afford(on xbox at least dont know about pc) also when you start out the enemies you fight can sometimes be ridiculously overpowering for your guy and once you get higher you hit a wall where you can defeat anything with hardly a thought, also the loading time sucks

well the game has more potential than almost any other game out there, since you can literally do pretty much anything, also means, that when you know the game and know how it works you can become uber in 2hrs of playtime..

i made a char that was lvl 20 and with sanctuary(how many attacks you avoid in percents) of 108% in 2hrs..

but of course to a first timer the game is certainly enjoyable and intriguing to say atleast..

Alrighty then, but see when you do stuff like that you ruin the game for yourself, because see what makes a game fun is that you have to strive to achieve, and as for you "108% sanct" i tried ans you need you skill at around 98 to make you have even a remote chance of casting it, and even then it was only something like 25%

Ok, I've just seen about 30 more screenshots that I hadn't seen before and this game really looks pretty freakin cool as heck! I guess I'll just buy it and join the crowd and develop some of my own opinions. Any problems I find I'll just be sure to post those in the thread created by the next inquisitive prospective game buyer, like myself. Thanks for all the replies!

Well, it has served its purpose.
