After disliking the combat system immensely, let’s see what we can find about the quests to bother us. Oh, I know, how about outstanding load times! Always a crowd favorite, the outstanding loading time is definitely a deal breaker in the fun department. If you can overlook the extreme area transitions that lead you back and forth through the valley of the shadow death like Kanye West with a ton of clown make-up on, then the quests are enjoyable. Not to say that they aren’t well thought out and mostly enjoyable. Well, I say that until you end up eating rats in a maze for a million years, but you know. The haunted hotel is cool though.

Overall, this isn’t the game you’re looking for unless you are Vampire: The Masquerade obsessed or just completely strung out on buggy RPGs. There’s a lot of nice elements hiding under the hideously overwrought surface, but it’s hard to say that they’re worth digging for. Maybe it’ll be better after a few patches.
