The levels and the gold is ridiculous. You gain two levels in 1 day of your life, and you can buy a full plate armor in the first inn you come acrooss. In the second day of adventuring, you can clear a bandit camp with about 50 bandits, only with 2 companions, and find a drum that can be selled for 2000 gold. Also, in the 4th area of the game, you can find a morningstar that is very powerful (+1, +1d6 fire).
Traps do laughable damage, and I usually don´t wait for the voice to finish to continue a dialogue. The cutscenes are almost amateur. If I wanted to "watch" a game, I would play a Final Fantasy. At least they use better cameras angles, better character facial gestures, and great CG movies.
At many points I laughed at how bad the game was. Specially...
***SPOILER***
At the part in when you talk with Elanee at the keep walls. The music they used for this "romantic" scene was so cliched, that I almost heard: "Why do birds suddenly appear, everytime, you are near...".
***SPOILER***
Also the problem with the controls is that the game is based in a 1-2 person party engine, and it becomes difficult to use as you don´t have options to select various characters, etc.
Anyway, I´m glad that some people liked it, but it doesn´t mean it´s great. I´m not someone who lives in the past, and can enjoy new games. In fact, the last game that really hooked me was KOTOR, which is not a great RPG, but it was a refreshing and very interesting game.
