Runs fine here, and I have AA and AF turned up to the max.

I didn't have any kind of problems with the demo. CTD when saving, but that was apparently one place - as it happened there twice, and nowhere else.

I'd suggest to give the game a chance too. Is it a roleplaying game - no way - but it still is fun. It doesn't do anything new really, but it does it well - and the humour it pokes at the cRPG genre in general is a real plus. If the first impressions hold true for the rest of the game I'd describe it as the "Army of Darkness" for Action RPGs. Graphic wise - it seems fine to me, and it even runs (sloppy, but playable) on my way old laptop with an exotic graphic chip using shared memory. I quite like the attunement system. The fact that healing restores only a little less then maximum hitpoints everytime you use it, until you rest, feels well though out too.
Some Spoilers in the following bit - which are part of the demo as well. A game that allows you to slay the "holy boar" of a village [which makes all of them sooo sad] and then sell that meat back to the unsuspecting inkeeper who feeds the mourning customers with it just has class. Or the way the major of said village points you to talk to some other person (and mentions in bracket some" whole other problem") is Bioware dialogue slightly overdone to a comical point.
At least once it is released as a low price game this one is worth its money if you don't buy it expecting more than a quick linear run through.

The game isn't very short. I've been playing it for over 8 hours and I'm still in the 'early' areas.

Yup. The demo just covers the 4 early areas (Monastery, town, bandit camp). I don't believe that the Vale of Tears is even there. There's TONS more after that.

I found one really annoying bug that made me loose all content of my bags. They simply won't open anymore - unless I drop them and pick them up again, and then my stuff is lost forever.

Weird. I haven't encountered it but I have a ton of saves, so if I run into that problem I'll just know to reload. Better report that one on the official forum, Whip. It's pretty serious if it happens often.

Happened twice. And while I do keep savegames, I didn't notice this one for a while - just having sold most of my loot. Also, the game is nice enough to have autosaves after completing quests. Smart move!
