I don't even know how to describe how much I love this game. As someone who cannot handle anything that requires instant reactions during gameplay, this turn-based, save-scumming game was so very stress-free. You could literally walk away from the screen mid-battle, cook some maggi mee, eat it, and return to continue your fight without worrying about a thing.

If you're playing it for the first time, I recommend that you do it alone (without friends), so that you can fully savour the game as a whole. Talk to NPCs, get dragged into random plots, and if you choose particularly troublesome companions, get ready to fight/persuade your way out of everything (curse you Ifan; your deeply attractive voice doesn't make up for the fact that you're probably the worst companion to have). I also highly recommend that you save murderhobo-ing for your subsequent replays. Stat your persuasion and you can get through (almost) everything. Once you go lone wolf, you'll never believe in the four-man party system again.

I've replayed this game about three to four times now, and I'm close to finishing honour mode. Every time I replay this game, there's always some new tiny detail I find (i.e. if you enslave the boat, you're hooking up with your love interest in the crappy room, not the deluxe suite) or items I never realised were in-game the whole time (e.g. the faithful armour set in Arx) or some other awesome aspect (i.e. adding Corbin Day to the boat and upgrading all your unique items).

Despite the fact that there's pretty much only one main storyline, this game has amazing replayability. It's a near perfect game. I highly recommend it.
