    I never got into this game unfortunately. It somehow always gave me that feeling of playing with toys: The stiff character movements and animations, the overall appearance of the world, everything felt so strangely plastic-like and non-organic to me. What I found interesting though was the dragon part, it was impressive to see the world from above (not being able to use my dragon powers to annihilate my foes on the ground was underwhelming though). A strange game for me, I tried to replay it from time to time but never got very far.

    So far it's a mixed bag. I love the level design with a lot of vertical exploration and secrets, not many RPGs do that (really only Elex), I love the amount of optional content that is kinda hidden from the player at first glance, but slowly unfolds through exploration (basically every NPC has a shitton of skeletons in a closet and quests that you can only access by stumbling on something exploring the other side of the map). Combat is pretty horrible, but has very fun skills (polymorphing stronger enemies into ladybugs to buy you some time to clear their minions is very fun). Visuals are mostly fugly, but some places like crypts and goblin lairs are surprisingly atmospheric. Characters are mostly just over the top comedic, but it fits with the game tone

    Overall it's pretty good if you're an explorefag and can stomach the combat

    No. There are at least 10000 better games to choose from if you have nothing else to do. I mean, why do this to yourself? Game was mediocre even at the day of its release. No one cared about it because it was shit, the only thing it had was the semi-AAA graphics.

    I don't understand why people spend their valuable time on earth looking for obscure niche trash to play. Just mod Skyrim.
