And I don’t mean that in a bad way.  I wrote a while back that I thought it would keep me from getting things done and I was completely right.  Every chance I find I have a chance to play it, I do!  It is an excellent old school CRPG in the vein of Baldur’s Gate or even the old D&D Gold Box games if you remember those.

The battles are challenging, especially on a console due to the way you pause it, and the third person view makes tactics problematic, if I had it to do over again, I would have purchased the PC version so I’d get the old school top down 3/4 view, but I hate to reboot my mac into Windows to play games so when I can, if it’s on a console, I buy the console version, just to keep my computer for work only.  Anyway, besides that one drawback, the game is excellent, I’m still in the early portions of the game but I’m enjoying it and I want to play more everyday, which is good and bad.  Good for the game since it means the developers did their job well, bad for me because it means I’m not getting any work done.
