Which of the 2 did you buy? (Or did you get the special edition?)

I got the SE, playing Birthright first.

What do you think of the game so far? Any positive/negative things to say about it?

The story is interesting and I like most of the characters.  I really appreciate how they've worked to make the skills and weapons balanced, adding quite the bit of depth to the strategy.However, the positives stop there.

Most of my issues are with the writing.  The talk between siblings is quite cringy, with all the "big brother/sister" remarks.  Worse though, is how the avatar is treated like God(see MU's death quote for a reference).  Voice acting is bad at best.  The sin that is unforgivable though is that you can marry your own blood relatives.    Like, wtf?

It's alright but I'm 10 chapters in and I'm not really enjoying it.

Yeah, I have to agree on the 'big brother' thing. It got old fast, and creepy as well. The thought of marrying relatived is weird as well... >_>;

I thought the voice acting as pretty good myself, minus a couple characters, haha..

Right let me rephrase.  The acting is good, the writing and voices themselves are what's bad.
