    Come on, there must be something. I've only heard negative reviews and I'm tired of them. It is my firm belief that there is something good about all games and this one is no exception I hope. Well, if you exclude Catfight.

    The box is quite nice, and the jewel cases are quite useful. Cds' make good coasters.
    Every cloud has a silver lining :lol:

    In the spirit of the army and other sadistic institutions: the absence of a fatal bug that crashes your system (either out to windows or completely) for a five minute span is, in my opinion, a very good thing. (Sort of the absence of pain equals pleasure.)

    [​IMG] Erm, one you get past a certain level in the game, it's allegedly quite playable, and ummmm... it looks pretty? Oh, and if you like to see crap ways of putting rules into effect this is your game. I can see they put a lot of thought into implementing it after all.
    They really wanted to do a party based diablo 2 didn't they? :rolleyes:

    Aww now come on, it's really not all that bad if you give it a chance, once you get the updated XP for 3ED on there you might find that it turns out to be quite playable...

    I've heard/read that the rules implementation in the game is FUBAR, can anyone else give more details about how bad they screwed the rules up?

    Feats and skills are automatically assigned to characters. The rogue's stealth is useless because you can't move far away from the party. Rangers can't dual wield. Attack of opportunity is totally screwed up.
    Is that enough, or do you want me to actually think about it and give you more?
