What players say
Players praise the rich writing and worldbuilding, but warn that the game demands a lot of reading. The turn-based mode added years after launch is popular among those who found the real-time combat chaotic. A common complaint is that a priest in the party feels almost required for tougher fights. Some players find the early game slow and the frequent backtracking tiresome.
