I played this (non epic version) when it first released back during 07, and despite it being oddly bad, I finished the game with about 90 hours played. That is to say, this game is actually kind of good. Diablo, Gothic, and Oblivion made a baby, and most of the gene combinations gave rise to the things you didn't like, but still, it's hard to be a really bad game when you are taking ideas from 3 excellent titles. If you're bored with 10 bucks to burn, this isn't the worst title you'll purchase this year.
