Played for about three hours this evening. Enjoyable although its aspirations to be an mmo are very clear and a bit annoying. But whatever.

I'm playing a rogue dude right now who uses daggers and chakrams and I'm wrecking shit. No bow.

Game is pretty easy. I would suggest bumping it up to hard. Hard feels like normal.

It works fine for me. You have to visit a place and a location pop-up will appear and then you can fast travel to it. There are two map screens. You can only travel from one of them. Can't remember which.

too many fukkin quests in this game, i never feel like I accomplish something because ever.fucking.quest leads to about 5 sub quests.  Oh and :piss games that dont' allow you to drop non imortant quests

Its an "okay" game. I mean under no circumstances should you pay full price. This is one of those games that's a great buy on a steam sale.. But not at full price.

The side quests are really boring and there are a lot of them. They are like mmo quests. The main quests and the faction quests are better which makes me want to stick to them and ignore the sidequests.

The problem is even though I don't want to compare this to Skyrim I just can't help it because its similar in some many ways. The world is boring. I don't like talking to people outside the main quests because they have nothing really interesting to say. It just doesn't hook me or feel epic the way Skyrim does.

The combat is the best part of the game. But a large part of that is just because the world is so boring. It's like World of Warcraft the single player game but with good combat. I'm still early though so the main quest picking up will hopefully improve my opinion of the game.

I decided to wait for a Steam sale because the Steam version is unique (in that it doesn't use Origin) but I refuse to pay $60 for a PC game (Diablo 3 might break me).

It reminds me of Sacred 2 but in third person. It pretty much is Sacred 2 in third person (the console ports).

Since it started as a MMO it should.

Don't worry, Diablo 3 will be US$80.

True, but all games will be $80 MSRP by the time Diablo III comes out.
