What do you like most about Jade Empire?

The things I love about Jade Empire are the action-packed combat system, the cool exploration, and the story and character advancement.

Utterly destroying a dozen enemies in a few seconds never gets old. I can always find some new trick or way to use the combat system to deal an ever more impressive beat-down on the wide variety of enemies that we've put in the game. The combat is more fun than I had hoped it would be when we first talked about it.
