The magic system is great now ?. I could never get it to work. There are these NPCs scattered around the place that let you change your build, which is a good thing, unfortunately you would have had to have been collecting magic effect cards a long time to even start experimenting with spells. Bad mistake this dependence on finding books and items before you can move your character in the direction you want.
The world looks fine even good in places, the combat system is great, everything IN the world is oatmeal with no salt, milk or sugar.
