Absolutely atrocious. Rushed, buggy, broken mess with three plots in a trenchcoat, each going nowhere. The companions are repugnant, grating psychopaths. Enemies teleport behind you mid-combat encounter and remove all tactics or strategy from affairs. Dull, tiresome, pointless trash. Poisons the series irreperably with its half-baked plotlines and introduction of a fully voiced protagonist with the patented DIALOGUE WHEEL OF DESPAIR.

It stumbles on a few good ideas which subsequent games discard, like the friendship/rivalry system, or a smaller and more psychological focus.

I do not understand how, as of this writing, the average rating is 3.3/5. It is my sincere belief that people who would rate this game anything higher than a 2/5 should be committed to a mental institution.
