- Great RPG
This game has to be one of the best RPGs made to date. One thing that is cool about this game is that as your character evolves the people in the towns will react differently to you. Also when you create new characters the game experience will be different for each one.

- Wonderful
This game is great. I've never had so much fun with a role-playing game. Your character is much more customizable than is usual with this type of game. There are no class restrictions, so you can develop your characer almost any way you want.

This is also the only game I've ever played that lets you play a female character and have the other characters react to you as female. Everywhere I go, people call me "madam" or "missy" and say other things they would only say to a female. Some things are easier for female characters, and some things are more difficult. It really adds to the realism for women who are tired of always having to play male characters.

The game is also interactive in other ways. The town newspaper may report on your activities, for example. And the game is not overly difficult; my half-orc barbarian is already level 25. I've never been able to get so far in a RPG with so little frustration. This is a very clever, amusing game; wonderful fun.

- Incredible RPG
Looking at the reviews for this game, I was amazed at some of the negative reviews it received. Don't let them fool you, THIS GAME IS AWESOME.

The graphics aren't shocking, but they're good for the way the game is played. The buildings and backrounds are very well designed, and the movies (especially the first few opening ones) are very nice. I like the sound, too. It has a certain 1800s feel to it, and adds to the flavor of the game.

The world itself is just amazing. The editorial reviews will confuse you: this is no "Steampunk" or whatever sort of timeframe. It is set in the middle of an industrial revolution. But the world itself is a magical one, with dwarves, elves, orcs, and the like. Therefore it creates a clash between magic and technology. An overwhelming presence of magic will screw up technology, and vice versa. In fact, a wizard in the game's first town actually asks you to destroy a steam engine that the mayor put in because it is suppressing his magic. Throughout the game, you see examples of the enmity between technologists and wizards. Some kingdoms shun technology, and some are less approving of magic.

Character creation and advancement is full of endless possiblities. A sophisticated point system allows you to fully customize your character in a classless nature. You can make a technologist or a wizard, a gunslinger or an archer, a gentleman or a thief, etc. etc. You can even ride the line, choosing neither technology or magic and just create a stealthy thief (who inherently leans slighly toward technology, due to the nature of the pick locks and disarm trap skills) or a tank-like fighter, or a savvy member of the social elite, and more. The point system even allows you to combine all of these elements, as you choose any skill you want as you gain more character points for increasing level. For other customizations, it also allows you to choose a background for your character. Histories such as Miracle Operation, Bandit, and more.

All in all, a great game with few bugs.

- Awful
This game is the worst I've seen in years.

It makes Fallout 1 look like advanced technology.

The graphics and sound literally look like something out of 1992...

The idea that anyone would release such a piece of unmitigated [junk], in the age of Diablo and Neverwinter Nights, boggles my mind, and I urge you, nay, I ABJURE you, not to waste your money on this.

- Great game with show-stopping bugs
First off, this is a deep and lengthy RPG in the best sense. The character creation alone is fun and can yeild a couple of hours of fun by itself. Allowing players to chose between aptitutes in magic or technology just builds on this process. I was truly surprised how practically any character type (mage, scientist, thief, diplomat, smart, strong, dumb, weak) could make their way through the expansive world and always have options. Aside from the central quest their are hundreds of side-quests and how you solve them is totally up to you and the abilities you've chosen for your characters.
Clearly, this is the strength of the game. It's weakness? There are several late-game bugs that can happen that will simply end your game. In particular, there was a shrine I found that had an object I was too weak to lift at the time. Later, I returned and moved the object but had no need for it so I put it back. Then, hours and days later, I needed it and returned to find that it had evaporated. This was a key quest item, one that would lead to getting a necesary item for the end battle, and trying to get tech support was met with sad tale on message boards of no fix.
People finish the game, don't get me wrong, but if you're one of the poor souls gets shafted in the third act you're going to wonder why you wasted your time. Like to gamble with time? This might be for you.
