I'm about 20 hours into it, and it's pretty damned cool. I really like the new combat system. It's a refreshing change of pace from using a traditional turn-based setup for the twelfth friggin' time. The story seems decent so far, but I have yet to encounter anything that puts it ahead of 10 in that department.
My one question, directed at the folks on the forum who might have beaten it already, is this: do the locations ever generally change? I've been seeing a lot of deserts so far. A lot. Deserts and desert cities. Is the scenery ever going to make any radical changes to other climates, or am I pretty much going to be sweating my ass off the rest of the game?
