I have been looking at reviews and such, but they're not answering my questions. Just trying to justify their wide range of scores from 50% to 100%.

My questions:

* How interesting are the towns?
* Is there much to do in those towns?
* Is there grinding? If so, how much would I expect?
* What about work size, is the world too big? I find this to be a major problem with RPGs lately, big sparse environments with nothing to do except fight.

I won't ask about characters, people seem to have vastly differing opinions on characters in RPGs than I do.

well i find some towns have interesting things to do while other are pretty boring. Like one town has a tournament and a casino. and their are guild quests. but thats about all you'll get outta towns. To me theres a need to grind lol, because the difficulty seemed to spiked at certain points but its not impossible to do without much level grinding. I think the world is a nice size but theres to many damn trees. but besides towns dungeons and rare monsters i didnt see anything else really interesting with the world i guess im not done yet though. ill just tell you that the characters are okay lol.
