This game leaves a horrible first impression, but imma try to get into it
Things are annoying. Theres alot of lore dumping in the first 2hours which i normally don't mind but these quests are mostly fetch quests.

And these companions are almost useless but I expected nothing less from the VA that played Garrius. I hated his useless ass in ME and he keeps up the streak in this game.

The controls feels like it was designed for PC. There's no reason our companions abilities, our items or our own abilities have to compete for ability slots. And that's strange considering FFVI or whatever the MMO is on xbox has 50 different items on screen yet you can easily swap between over 10 abilities.

Played about an hour. I guess i see the complaints. Very bland world and characters so far. It’s good but not engaging.

Some of the comments in here make me optimistic. I've been waiting for this and I have been especially confident that the combat would be great.

Surprisingly, GROUNDED is was made me sure the combat would be fulfilling. It looks like they learned a lot from the combat you use to fight all the hostile bugs in the backyard and essentially did a grounded combat 1.5.
I'm going to see if I could get time on it tonight.

Being a big fan of Grounded myself, the combat in this game is excellent and yes it does remind me of Grounded with magic. Grounded has excellent combat regardless of how you feel about the rest of the game you can't front on the Combat in that game. That is one thing Obsidian has definitely got down pact is how to make the melee combat feel great.

I'm about 5 hours into this so far and I am enjoying myself, it isn't the greatest game ever by any means, but it is fun and it is well put together and crafted. I will give my full opinion when I finish it.
