A good game that i would need strict adherence to a guide to stomach, it's simply made from a time in which video games expected a greater level of patience and more tolerance for obtuseness in game design. Knowing where to go is impossible, and the map is often useless. My problem with games like these is that they often have a great level of diversity and openness when it comes to combat and character building, but in terms of exploration and story progression they are absurdly rigid, even the slightest deviation from the desired path is completely impossible. It's just not engaging to explore.
