The game itself was awesome, (click to show/hide)but the ending made me feel like I wasted my time with ME2. I don't think I've ever played a game as depressing as this one.

...I had no idea the game existed untill I got it. Well, actually, I had no idea the studio which made it existed.

Bit of a clumsy and slow start... Looking very ... average.
But then, holy shit, it's just so amazing. The greatness of this game exponentially rises with the time spent playing it. I'm not sure I ever saw a game with more content. Huge sort-of-open world, huge lore, huge story, so many quests, factions, so many NPCs with long, unique dialogues, great design (well, that part I really like, but I'm sure many people will hate it)...  Also, almost bugfree.

Well, actual minus points... The menus are a bit console-ish, not the "Fuck PC gamers" as Skyrim has, but it's far from ideal. Then the worst thing, the FOV. It's kind of a tunelvision. But they say it will get fixed soon in apatch, so PC gamers can change the wideness and distance of camera.

It's like KoTOR met with Morrowind and Fable, had a threesome... and a mysterious child was born. And what a cool kid that is.

Either way, I'm not exactly running trough games, I tend to enjoy and explore... But hell, this game took me about 140 hours to complete once, on medium difficulty. That is way, way, way above average and the best thing, I do not regret any of this time spent.

I have to say, it is a jolly good game, even though I am not a fps/tps gamer. Dialogues were so overzealously patriotic it was funny. Really good game, looking forward to a possible second installment.

You know the funny thing is that on a PC you have a much better camera control because of the mouse, so even if the game is console-ish, a keyboard+mouse still offer some advantages over a gamepad.

I had pre-ordered this game when I saw it advertized at Game Stop, and I must say that it was well worth the money.  Apart from a few bugged quest, which forced me to replay 10 hours of the game, it was a very smooth run.

The world is huge, and there are so many places to explore.  There is no way that you'll find everything in one playthrough.  I love the look of the game, and all the different armor sets you can find that can mixed and matched to give you the attribute bonuses you are looking for. 

This game is different from any other rpg I have ever played.  You don't just click on a monster and auto-attack it until it's dead.  You have all the control to dodge the monster and to attack from any angle.  There are so many classes to choose from.  You can mix and match your attributes to make your character into anything from a battle-hardened mage, a mix of mage/rogue, or even have an adventurer with equal parts of mage/rogue/fighter.  I also like how you can re-allocate all your points by merely paying a Fateweaver.

I logged over 100 hours into my first playthrough of this game, and I was bored 0% of the time.  The only complaint I have is that there are a couple of bugged quests, though most of them seem to be PC-based, and I only ran into one myself on the PS3.  I suggest creating three save slots, and always saving over the oldest slot.  Save often, just in case you run into a bugged quest.  Don't wanna do what I did and have to replay 10 hours of the game.  The other complain is that you reach your level cap hours before the end of the game.  I hope that a patch is created that will give a higher level cap in the future.

All in all, I give this game a 9.5/10.  I took off .5 for the buggy quest.  I eagerly await an expansion pack or sequel.
