I'm surprised no one's mentioned how good the enemy AI is in this game. I'm playing a warrior, Chap. 4, and I've continually found that I need to be smart as well as strong to survive. This is more than just hack-and-slash. It can be a frustrating game to start because there is no hand holding and you don't know exactly what to do or where to go, at first. Hang in there, it gets better and leveling gets faster as you go along. The bugs are there, but none are game killers (save often). There is one bug I've found that's been there since launch that could prevent a quest completion and that's it (load a saved game and replay). The story line is great and keeps pulling. If you like RPGs at all, you should play this.
