Fun but Frustrating.
It is almost useless to revive fallen partners since the enemies will just crowd you and beat you to death while you are reiving them. I also found there to be several areas where you cannot go back to town to buy and health potions and get stuck fighting enemies much stronger than you in confined places and you can't go anywhere or do anything about it, you have to just keep dying over and over and over again. You don't get to keep any of the xp either.
Another problem with the save feature is that often I would loot a good new item of armor or a weapon and level up, but if I died ten minutes later I lost all my new stuff and had to re-level my character again (now that's total crap). There is no reason that players can't save their weapons, level, and loot I don't care how far behind or forward they are.
Also the inventory system does NOT allow you to view the inventory of any A.I. characters, so you have no idea what stats they have. You can give them armor and weapons but after a while you don't even know how much stuff they have and what do they do with what they aren't wearing? You could be selling it but you can't get to their inventory (boooooo!)
The good stuff is that the weapons and battles are great. The skills and spells are fun. There's just something about killing those orcs! It has decent story line but as usual points were dedcuted because even on a large hd t.v. much of the text is too small to read or make out (no more excuses guys make it readable).
