Yey! Let's spend hours leveling up, beat a boss and then do the same over and over and over again! Not boring at all...

I can understand gamers wanting a challenge, I get that, and this game provides it but it doesn't provide it in an interesting way. Simply put, it just makes you grind out levels until you're ready to take on the next big thing and once beaten, you've got to start over again in a new area. I'm currently in an area I've been in for the last 2 hours now and I'm still not ready to take on this boss character bloke. I'm a bit annoyed that the game doesn't even have a map or system which allows you to see where you've been and where some locked doors are and boss characters are lurking. Would also be nice to know that I'm powered enough to beat some enemies rather than just walking up to them and shortly after realising that I'm not strong enough and have my arse handed to me on a plate. Plus am I missing the comparison window when buying items?! How do I know that I'm suited to a weapon before buying it?! Why can't I sell items to any trader?!
The fact of the matter is I've genuinely got better things to do with my time and better, more satisfying games to play (that have an end in sight). Bring on Skyrim to extinguish this bad taste in my mouth and show me what a true RPG is meant to be like.
