    Really enjoying it so far. The combat is great, way beyond what you would normally expect from an RPG. Character customization is great and my god there's lots and lots of loot!!!

    Blacksmithing and Gem crafting is pretty solid, needs levels invested to make good items though as you find alot of epics even in your first few hours of play but with some thought and preparation I am now creating some really nice gear.

    It starts slow enough for the first few hours but it's really picking up now in terms of quests and story. Overall I would definitely recommend it, if you like fast hack and slash combat and indepth character development with tonnes of loot options then definitely pick it up.

    My one complaint is that it is far too easy even on the hardest difficulty. It will be fine for most casual players but if you like theory crafting and getting the most out of the combat and abilities you wont find much of a challenge.

    Yes its really good, Kinda like what Fable 2 could of been if Peter Moleynuex wasnt allowed near it. but much bigger, the map is huge weopons are really diverse enemys are cool some are rather annoying but you feel great after killing them and you can respec your charecter wheneer you want. I think ive settled on Greatsword and Great hammer, but if i want i could go sneaky theif in an instant.

    I traded in Skyrim for this ( put 50 hours into it) and I'm not sorry I did. After ny first sitting I'm 5 hours in, combat and weapon upgrades are what make this. I started doing a few side quests but it went up a gear for the main quests. My only worry with this game, will I be finished before Mass Effect next month. I'm playing on PS3.

    It's 39.99 in GameStop, not sure about GAME (although it's probably the same - why did I pre-order on Steam ;_; ). Haven't looked anywhere else.

    Also, now that I think of it, is anyone else (on PC) getting "An unknown connection error occured" when trying to connect to your EA account? I want those goodies from the demo, but that stupid error stands in the way :|

    Ive been playing since 9:30 yesterday morning on xbox, no bugs at all, but it did stall once. Which is probably more to do with the xbox being on for over 30 hours straight than the game.

    have there been any changes to the game other than that? the demo played like a pig when i got it, all sorts of nasties like frame rate and not being able to change resolution etc..

    Loving it, what makes it is the combat, seamless between primary and secondary and the fact that you can dabble in multiple classes too.

    Mind you playing on hard I think I better make a decision on one over the other soonish.

    I'm about two hours in. First impressions are that it's ok. Combat for me seems to be a lot of pressing the same button and is very easy so far on the normal difficulty.

    The graphics are pretty poor (imo) but that doesn't bother me a whole lot.

    The sidequests I've done so far haven't been especially interesting.

    Will keep going but it's only ok so far.

    First thing everyone should do it turn up the difficulty level. Hard is pretty easy as well, with only a few tough fights for me so far.

    Did you get to the trolls on hard???? Man those cleaned me out of health potions fast, then I got a unique hammer off one of them and found it stunned them after 3 uninterrupted hits in a combo chain. Mind you they were orange when I got to them so maybe should have waited a bit.

    Inventory space is a pain , potions take up far too much space. I have 1 full set of armour and a weapon in each category (playing a jack of all trades character) and same with accessories, and am at 75/80 :eek:

    11 which might explain my above troubles, haven't touched the main story line much at all, which I really should advance a bit to get a stash point.
