I'm in chapter 8 right now, put about a days worth of playtime into the game. If it had good writing (or hell even just remotely decent writing), then it would be a masterpiece of a game I think. As it stands, the beautiful world, the creative variety of monsters, and the flashy combat that always makes you feel like a badass keep you playing and mostly enjoying the game. But basically everything that involves somebody opening their mouth, or laying out the story, and side quests......dear god. I was talking about this with a friend the other day, and he tells me that even FFXIV, an MMO, has better writing than this....a single player RPG. How fucking sad is that?

So ya, it's two sides of a coin. It does some really nice things, but you can't help but look at that other side and be sad, because it could have been so much better.
