The review says the enemies are kind of repetitive. In POE they are a little too meaning regardless of what kind they are, they pretty much do the same thing, just come straight at you. In most cases. I love POE as well. I just started part 2 of The White March.

Yeah,  good point. I had not thought of that.

I'm not trying to put the game down, just relating what the reviewer said and add a point of my own. Tyranny maybe great, especially if you're able to design your own spells and gain experience in whatever you choose by doing whatever you choose like in Skyrim. Waiting for the 'User-Reviews' at Steam.

Of course I caved and bought this too:)  I'll post some initial impressions later when I have got more time into it....I can say right now I liked the character creation and also the new conquest mode which you run through before you start your journey that shapes your experience....

I have no interest in Dishonored.

Which is odd since you are very dishonorable  :bd:

You know, for a miscreant, your timing is impeccable.

Clearly, I have no need for the game when I live it.

I'm guessing he's a 'Fighter' type. User Reviews over at Steam are 'Very Positive'.

It has a classless system but his primary skill is wielding dual weapons and comes from a law breaking background.

The background affects more than just starting skills.
There are a lot of dialogue options that are locked for specific backgrounds.
Some of these have quite some impact on the game.

My character is a Diplomat, so I sometimes (rarely though) get an option for a dialogue option that makes everyone happy with me,
while on the other hand since I'm not a Guild Mage or a War Mage I can't study Tidecalling (water magic).

Yep...I believe that is where the replayability comes in since your choices in character build and the conquest will impact how other things unfold.
