I remember trying the demo and very quickly thinking "This is a bit naff."
Regardless, supporting GoG, when it became available I thought I'd give it a try. Turns out it's still naff, even after some 10+ hours game play. NPCs are terrible in both voice acting and animation, enemies have no AI to speak of, and the world itself offers no vistas or beauty like say Oblivion, Gothic 3, or Ego Draconis.
It's just an outright bad game, that looks and feels cheap. Disappointing is the only word for it really.
