Truly a labor of love. The learning curve is a little steep, but if you have an affinity for traditional RPGs then no doubt you'll figure it out. Once you do though, the game keeps on giving. I personally feel like I could write books about some of my characters' journeys. The game continues to throw me in states of awe/terror/fear/euphoria/bouts of laughter as I go through its insanity. Every build is viable, as every other reviewer as made that out to be.

Initially, before buying the game, I was put off by the graphics. Once I got into it though, it was like the seams had melted and I was in complete immersion.

This game is going to be in development for a while. They have big goals. That's not to say there's not more than enough content to satisfy players. It's going to be a while before you can say you've played through all the content. In fact, I'll be impressed if you can avoid dying in the first 30 minutes in your first few days : ^ )
