What a dissapointment

Lousy map, too many random encounters, lousy map, lousy tips on where to go next, did I mention lousy map? I've spent a good 6 hours already waiting for it to pick up, and all it did was frustrate me. I wanted to give it a chance, but it won't let me. I heard the story picks up after the first half, but damn if I'm going to spend another 10 hours wondering where to go, then what to do when I get there. If I have to backtrack one more time, killing the all too frequent random encounters with the same monsters, I'm going to kill myself.
