Freaking Hades, I finished that bloody chapter. You couldn't pay me to read that novel.
Gaider seems in love with himself and his words. Words words words. He loses himself in his descriptions while disregarding pacing and flow.
David Gaider sure writes a lot. He puts words and words and words together. So much freaking exposition, none particularly interesting. I can't believe I've already put up with 5 pages of this.

Aren't you glad I made you buy this game? ^____^
I'll probably make an AAR thread on Market-Garden when I finish A Bridge Too Far and actually get around to playing Highway to the Reich.
Well, it probably plays likes a 3rd-person shooter using UE3. The game doesn't base its core shooting mechanics on RPG stats or whatever nonsense, instead using the RPG elements to add to that base.
Which is a pretty sad state of the current WRPG industry. RPG combat *should* be compelling in and of itself. It just hasn't really been in the last few years except for Magical Volo and Hades. And Gabs re: FO3.
