I'm not 100% fan of TW3 CRPG design style, but I admit I feel haven't been fair to have buy it at a 50% sale. I'm not 100% fan because I don't find back some of the best points of TW1, because I'm tedious about such single character action combats and don't think the combat system is really good or at least it isn't for my weak skills, I feel there's too much hand guiding and I can't succeed not use them, the areas structures design is pretty good but it still fails a lot into the arena design and a lack of structures hence weaker exploration, the mini games are pretty better than in previous games of the series but it's still mini games and I'm not much fans of this filling method for a CRPG world, I have real troubles with the controls and too many toggle keys requiring keep press a key, few more.
But dam there's efforts anywhere to provide quality and care of details, every bit of writing looks like thought with care and never rushed, most hand guiding is managed with effort to hide it a little, the mini games get definitely a lot of effort to integrate them to the general play and not have them too basic, the efforts on world living is everywhere, there's an effort to parallel little tricks, like some hints provided by some street talks of common NPC, trunks, the MMO like quests (hunts/contracts) get each an effort of a specific design to add story and lore around them, more.
So yeah not fully my style, but in my opinion worth the full price.
