    The game itself was fine, and is the second best of it's ilk to come along since all those old Infinity Engine games. Visually I liked it, sound was fine and the party system was fine. Quests and story? Fine. What's wrong with it?

    Minus a few points for very poor encounter design & planning in certain locations. Minus a zillion points for there *still* being serious bugs (e.g.    The game itself was fine, and is the second best of it's ilk to come along since all those old Infinity Engine games.

    The main storyline could have been longer and more thrilling. Despite information that both parts are not going to be closely linked, the ending of Part 1 seems to be a prelude to something larger. [11/2015, p.46]

    First part of the White March expansion, even though solid and with fantastic icy locations, is definitely not amazing. The transition from story to chain of combat scenarios is a step in the wrong direction.

    A bit more emphasis on story or perhaps more variety in the combat situations would be welcome shots in the arm.
