Sorry for the bump, but I've decided to write a few opinions about the game lol.
The game is fairly pretty, though sometimes the style can be all over the place. Nice textures (some great), nice character models (especially faces). I also love how many NPC's can be around in a city...makes it feel more alive.
Great upgrade system...looting old, obsolete weapons and armor is not a pain at all, since they can be recycled. I actually can't wait to find some old hammers or whatnot to get me some iron.
Really fun lock picking mechanic. The tougher the lock, the more fun it is.
Horrible voice acting, to the point that I would just prefer all text.
I'm 35 hours in and have no idea how close to the end I am. The story opened well, had a good pace, then fell off a cliff. WTF is going on? What am I doing? Its easy to forget. I'm in chapter 2.
Everything is bordered by rocks. This is not an open game world. All areas are corralled...annoyingly so. There are teleporters everywhere...with little thought on their placement...meaning they look like they were just tossed on the ground. Would be nice if they were like mini-temples or something cool looking.
You begin in a european setting, typical of this type of game...only to be very quickly whisked away to some african setting that suddenly doesn't fit. Its weird to be fighting ostriches, warthogs, cheetahs (though no lions) Then its off to an eastern style land...again the style is a jarring change. Espeically when most NPC's are still white europeans.
There is not a great variety of enemy models.
Combat has become a cake walk. Sure, I'm not playing on hard...I usually don't, but its no excuse for being a cake walk. I recently got this monstrously powerful hammer, as I upgrade it...man I swear I'm Thor.
Overall its a pretty fun game, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it until sometime in the future...I think I want to move on.
