Anyone playing this? Release day buy for me based on early reviews and the demo.

Graphics are OK (think Fable IIIish but better), gameplay is great, nice open world. Lots of side quests.

The battle system is a nice departure from other RPGs I've played. Your primary weapon is mapped to X and your secondary weapon to Y (XBox 360). Holding right trigger + A, X, B, or Y uses one of your powers. Left trigger is block/shield. Very intuitive and very easy to do combos.

Nice leveling system (easy to completely reset and redo skill points/attributes if you don't like how your character is developing).

You can make potions, craft weapons and armor, etc.

So far, I'm having a lot of fun with this game. It's a nice break from Skyrim.

There's a demo? I'll have to look into it if I remember.

Yeah. It let's you play the first section of the game. Once you get out of that section and into the open world, you get 45 minutes of playtime. Definitely recommend playing the demo if you are at all interested in this game.
