this was one of the greatest games i have ever played. the controls are easy to use and the story line flows very well. the game allows you to decide where you want to go and what you want to do. If you like just hanging out and killing things, it doesn't rush you into going back to the story line. The subquests allow you to add a lot of great elements to the game. this is a game where i have went back and played it seven or eight times and it never gets old.
it does however take a lot of work to get some kick a-s chars. but in any good rpg you need to take the time to build your chars up. everyone should play this game at least once.
