Halfway adventure game (tons of NPC dialogue trees) and halfway BG game. Handles both sides well and offers a mature story with zenlike attitude. The story unfolds in twists and turns and at the same time the game still offers the rpg fans some character development. Personally i didnt like the game at first until i made it past Pharod... after that the game is definitely one of the more original stories in a crpg (possibly the most original). Reminds me for some reason to the middle Kings Quest games, in tone that is... dont know why. a journey i suppose...
