Good looking game, but the end boss is very tough depending what spells you've grown, making it a very frustrating game.
Really liked this visually (hence the 5 rating) - character morphing based on your actions in the game as you level up was a good add-on. I've played the gypsy and the scholar, both pretty similar make-up but the movement took a while to master. Also, the level ups by EXP don't happen quick enough which limits having a fully spelled up/complete character. I like to do 'the lot' in a game and this doesn't allow for that and replaying to experience all spells would be too much.
I wouldn't wish to be spoon-fed but the manual should set out mandatory character areas to build up otherwise you'll have a tough time with killing MODO – perhaps the developers could post up an ideal character path and you could then choose to specialise in areas you want to – depends if they want RPG fans to buy the game or not, and develop series.
The side quests are ok, but the re-do quests for EXP or Spell points don't always give you the EXP or Spell point you earned, and don't have much replay value after the second go, making for dull grinding play to level up.
As you'll see there can't be many fans out there, not enough to write walkthroughs or post tips up - so with so many great games to choose from you might wish to miss this one.
Maybe I'll return to this, whilst waiting for Gothic 4, if I finish The Witcher early.
