So far I've had quite a time playing this game. I haven't encountered any game breaking bugs; about the worst thing I've seen yet is a couple of different spots where otherwise innocuous choices lead to a scenario that prevents you from finishing a companion's story arc (which I won't describe here fully to avoid spoilers - but the information is out there for those who want to find out).

But other than that? This is exactly the sort of game I was looking for...for a VERY long time. Ever since I played the Baldur's Gate series I wanted to play another RPG game that also included some type of ruler-style play...building a castle, a town, whatever, that your characters would be in charge of. This game has that as a core mechanic, and it's so far in excess of my meager hopes that it amazes me. This is the sort of game that I'm still thinking about hours after I stopped playing; still planning my next move, my next destination, the next step I'll take in the development of my kingdom.

Yes, there's still some kinks to be worked out, but if you are a fan of fantasy RPG this is already well worth your money and if you're like me and you want to role play building and ruling your own kingdom then I can only wonder why you haven't bought it already :)
