This game is one of the worst games im sad to say ive finished.
First of all it is a clone war, you will meet and greet the same people over and over again. The same goes for rooms, walls, decoration, foes and ... well everything.

Second the bugs outnumber the whole human race even though most of them are minor things like random npcs attack you for no reason whatsoever or the one where monster don't see you when you stand infront of them. The mayor bugs are not to be taken lightly, i seem to remember a keep in the beginning of the game. The mission was like "den of evil" in diablo only when every monster was dead the quest log didnt react. So there never came any secret stairway opening or such, i returned later when the monsters had respawned and then only then it said complete.

Third it makes no sense, few thing in this game does. Like the time a big uber monster burst out of jail and killed the town guard the moment i entered. Or when i was upgraded to assassin by some random bartender.
Maybe when i rode a wooden horse through a solid stone wall and the wall exploded reveling a path full of monsters.
Or my absolute favorite when i walked around in a pentagram lightning it upp only to find that nothing happened,in my rage i threw myself of a cliff and died only to be find my self in some kind of path between earth and heaven full of monsters. I have more examples but it would take all day.

But still there are lots of fun too like the leveling system (after a long while you get skill points). The magic part is fun too, and like well some chars look really ugly thats funny i guess. It's funny how i was told i should kill a dragon to be mayor and when i killed it nobody seemed to care even though i got like a you-killed-a-dragon card.
