    Epic RPG fun. This entry into the series is more focused than its predecessor, the narrative elements are stronger and the player is presented with some genuinely interesting and meaningful choices throughout.

    I have to say that the game, while rich in plot and story, lacks in visuals and sound, may be enjoyed by few. I would like to see the folks at Spiderweb software be given a big budget and let loose.
