I take it back ...

This is one of the most front-loaded games I've experienced. The first 10 or so hours were totally magical in re-creating my nostalgia-filled love of her world.

After the game starts to really open up and you really start moving away from the castle ... it dissolves into a Ubisoft game where nothing has any real meaning or matters.

There is VERY little player agency regarding choice. Fable-level binary choices of good/evil would even be super welcomed! Alas, nothing matters really.

The map is so littered with busy-work filler that it's hard to really care. I MIGHT find some incentive to do some of it though if loot didn't absolutely SUCK. After your 30th legendary scarf, it's hard to really care.

Combat is fun, the world is gorgeous, the castle is a character itself that is a joy to run around in. Sadly, still a big disappointment.
