Probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but I found it to be a mediocre game so far, certainly below Baldur's Gate.
The problems I found with it.
1) Quests were buggy, half the time they didn't mark themselves on my map.
2) Doesn't explain much very well, I stole a horse, got caught and my options were to bribe the guard, fight or surrender. I chose to bribe him, and then he was like "I'll just reclaim the stolen goods then", without giving me an option to not go with that. Worst bribe ever
3) Horses are buggy. I finally stole a horse, rode it to the next town, dismounted and then it dropped through the map and never returned.
4) Regenerating health makes it stupid. I thought that plague was satisfied with taking the difficulty out of FPS, now it's starting to ruin another genre?
5) The menu is the biggest PoS I have ever seen. You can't click something to select it, you have to scroll down to it using wasd and THEN click? Honestly, couldn't they spend 10 minutes changing the controls for the PC version? Additionally, why is there not autoloot of gold? And why, when there are 4 coins sitting on the ground, can I not pick all 4 up with 1 button.
6) I got mugged in broad daylight, in view of two guards, I ran to them and hid behind them but they did nothing. Worst guards ever?
From what I saw, the game has potential, the levelling system looks nice. But they released a beta, and I shall not play it. I will come back to the game in 6 months when they have finished it and patched in the improvements.

i agree with you with most of your points, i also find that swiping at enemies with your sword/mace/axe can be awkward sometimes it just doesnt hit the enemy even though you right next to them. The game does alot of things but does none of them greatly. Its also riddled with too many minor and major bugs, i think it could of done with 1 more month of testing.
Id rate the game between 80-85%, its a good game but not on the same level as, Mass Effect 1-2, Uncharteds, Valkyria chronicles, Final Fantasy 13.
