Nice review. I’ve only heard good things about this game, but I just can’t get past the graphics.

Having platinum'd the game myself I'll have to agree to most points you've made, except to the mapping controls part. I've played the game for 100 hours, 80 of those as a mage and I've never thought it was a bad thing. Being able to activate a passive ability and then unmap it, but still have it on helped. In the end there's only 1 skill you have to choose not to use, and it was pretty easy to do it (ice spells suck). I personally loved magic in the game and made me feel like a complete badass! Also there were a couple things that bothered me about this game: level design and that includes maps and dungeons, which I felt were kind'a repetitive and the huge number of side quests that were again, very repetitive. By the end of it all I was very tired of the game and I don't think I'd bother coming back, even for DLC. <a href='http://www.ps3blog.net/members/eden/' rel="nofollow">@Eden</a> : Patch wouldn't be a problem if you're focusing on the main game, which is 100 hours long. I've done EVERYTHING there was (all quests, collectibles and etc) and I didn't have a single glitch or bug that wasn't graphic related. Good review Hobbes! I don't recall ever seeing you do one, so I'd say you did a great job on your first review! My own score is 9.0/10.0 this game really deserves for showing us all that a HUGE RPG can coexist with an awesome combat mechanic. I’ve been wondering where this review was.

Twitter comments by Curt S. on the issue seems to link that he is willing to work with people still if someone were to want to, so I've not given up much hope, but there will be no patch, nor additional content unless someone picks up the IP been monitoring the forums, and it would seem Gov of RI railroaded any potential additional investors by making certain comments.

Too bad a patch or sequel are not in the cards, unless someone buys the IP (and at $40 million, I don't see that happening). Very fun game.
