Message: <blockquote data-quote="Super Pony" data-source="post: 5815611" data-attributes="member: 6669292">My cousin's excitement rubbed off on me and so I picked it up yesterday. I've only got about 2.5 hours on it but it is really quite fun.  The RPG aspect of it is not going to redifine the fantasy rpg genre but I almost like it better because they aren't trying to "wow" me with their insightful new world with ground breaking storylines. It's a solid, simple story and it's told in the style of copious dialogue windows. But the voice acting is fair to good and we get more voices than Fallout 3 had for sure. Where it really picks up its own steam is in the actual gameplay. Rather than simply having to wade through another mindless combat to get to the next story point (*cough* Skyrim's teribad combat *cough*) you get to have every fight feel like it could be ripped from the pages of a comic book whether you are fighting a wolf, a kobold or a rock troll. Sure that won't fit everyone's personal fantasy tastes (and usually wouldn't fit mine as I go for more somber tones), but the first time you blow up four Kobolds with a power blast from your fire staff...I DARE you to not smile like a farting infant... Who knows if I'll be as excited about the game on hour 30 as I am at 2.5...but so far I have been grinning like an idiot and exploring the first town, anxious to get back out into the forest and punish some wildlife. Speaking of...the mobs in the game don't just stand there waiting to die. They move around and look like they are just going about their routines (rolling in the dirt, chatting together, etc). If you are interested in this game at all you owe it to yourself to at least play a couple hours of it on a friend's console. I personally can't wait till my little ones head off to bed tonight so I can burninate. Who cares if I can tell where the plot's going already <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" /></blockquote>
