After I played the game for only six hours and having slain numerous foes, the whole thing started to become tedious. The pathetic plot lines don’t provide enough motivation to fight the hundreds of creatures needed to complete a campaign. And frankly, combat gets boring after a while. Even with new spells and new monsters to defeat, once you’ve done one combat, you've done them all. Also, once you’ve beaten one kind of creature, you pretty much know their achilles heel and know how to beat them for the rest of the game.
