It is out today. Has anyone bought it and given it a try yet? It is on my To Do list of games. But I was hoping to hear a bit more about it. The Reviews are solid. It sounds like a modern successor to the classic Baldur's Gate-style rpg games, with a new fantasy setting, an isometric view, party of characters, lot of races and classes to choose from.

I also forgot to add that it starts out exactly the same way as Baldur's Gate, with a narrator giving you a brief introduction with a backdrop of a still picture. I am positive it is even the same man doing the narration that did it in BG1.

Speaking of which, the very first NPC you talk to is played by the same voice actor that did General Vargas in Wasteland 2. I also recognize the voice the second NPC as well, a female fighter who teams up with you. I am not sure where I remember her from, but I have definitely heard her before. Ok, I looked her up. She is played by Cindy Robinson, who did Astrid in Skyrim.
