The story is fantastic and sucked me in for hours, the visuals are incredible, and the gameplay is the most satisfying I've ever had in an RPG. The combat especially is amazing. It's a little hard to get used to, since it's not just the "point, click, and kill everything" style you'll see in games like Skyrim, but it's really the only RPG I've ever played that I've actually felt PROUD of myself for finally taking out that wyvern or griffin or whatever. Every encounter is a puzzle. You have to actually THINK when fighting, which is how a game should be. Somehow, this game managed to pull off making you feel like a badass while at the same time not giving you godlike fighting abilities, and I'm still sitting here in awe of it.
