For what its worth I really enjoyed it. I liked the premise of the game (alternative medieval) and have played it through more than once over the years. The only thing you should be aware of is that it changes about two thirds of the way through from being an RPG to becoming pure hack and slash but all the same I found the game fun. My vote is go for it :)

Okay I'm getting it, thanks for helping my decision

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have :)

I can also tell you that i loved this game as well.

Also once you have played through it once, you can use that advanced character to join your new game and have it area effect kill all the crystal spawn monsters, then your new charachter can collect all the loot!, i love that trick (and there are others)
