Sure the story sucks, the romance subplot is randomly buggy, its got more grind than the offspring of WOW & a mincing machine and its way too expensive but you have to admit that the graphics are pretty damn spectacular and the system requirements are nice and low.

It also has significantly higher subscription fees !

yeah and when something can make an MMO seem like a bargain, you know there's a problem...

And for that price, why can't they introduce save/reload, and a third-person camera?

For the save/reload, they said they will not use such thing because that would bring down the realism/immersion of the game. :)
About the third-person camera, at least the developers were kind enough to give us modding tools. :p

Or, at the very least, 99 lives or some cheat codes....

A 3rd person camera? You want to wander around looking at your own arse all day? Bit narcissistic isn't it?

Could be useful, especially if one could turn the camera around a-la Oblivion/Fallout 3, World of Warcraft or most other games with a 3rd-person camera available. Top-down view would be cool as well.

so you could have a good but stealthy perv on the cute girl you just walked by? Hmm yes I can see the potential there...
