Summary

One of the best RPG's ever

The Good

Almost everything about this game is so good. The best features are the following: - The characters, their uniqueness and your attachment to them as the story develops. - The uniqueness of this game to other RPG's....this game, if you wish it, allows you to journey with LOTS of different types of characters each with unique personalities and you build a castle too! - The music. The music is absolutely fantastic! - The overall story is great and the game is just too much fun to leave it alone.

The Bad

Not much, I do think its quite linear to be frank but the game makes up in so many different areas its no big deal. Even the random battles are quickly resolved with the auto combat feature.

The Bottom Line

This game is just too lovable and original NOT to like. There are so many choices to make in the game of who to pick as a companion, what to do, where to go and explore and just to sit back and admire your mighty fortress. The feeling of growth, accomplishment and overall fun is what really is a key to making a great RPG and this is a great one.
