Cool. So you are thinking about buying this game? But want to hear opinions about it first? I would recommend renting the game, if you can. Since, I haven't played the game, I can't really tell you much, aside from what I gathered from the gamespot review, and besides - I'm the last person you should probably talk to about RPG's (I hold a slight negative bias towards them for a number of reasons).
