I can live with the racial choices, though more would be nice (as it is based on the SRD, they could have included more, but making the character models for those races may have taken a lot more resources they could have spent elsewhere).  I really want more classes though.  If there's one BIG detractor, it probably would be that.  My personal choice would be to rate it as a 9/10 game right now...BUT that is because of personal favortism towards D&D and how this game runs it.I'd say if one doesn't have the computer to run it (I'd suggest at least recommended and higher rather than the minimum specs) I'd say this WOULD be one they probably wouldn't want to get.  I'd also say if they are looking for something that exactly mirrors 5e, this is not going to be what they want (and no CRPG has ever really mirrored D&D rules exactly, so that's a hard limit to match).  If they are looking for a deep story line which has massive involvement, this may also not be their cup of tea.  I agree with you, that the story is not the strongest of storylines I've ever played through in an RPG.But I still love the game thus far.</blockquote>
