I'm having a great time, one of the best RPGs I've ever played, hands down. First off, the catch. The game looks great but I hear it doesn't take advantage of HD caching because of the xboxs that don't have hard drives so while the actual loading screens aren't too bad, you'll frequently encounter elevators that move at a snails pace while it loads the next area. Also, sometimes you'll pause in the middle of a large room while it loads and you get slowdown in some large fights. Those are really my only complaints and the rest of the game more than makes up for it.
The game is simply beautiful, not quite as good looking as Gears of War but up there. It's got some cool film grain, depth of field and motion blur effects. The dialogue is very good, well written and all of it spoken with the characters themselves making facial expressions and gestures, really immerses you in the world. Every conversation is interesting, a nice change from some RPGs with blah characters and quests. Combat is pretty good, it plays like a 3rd person shooter but takes some time to get into it.
I highly recommend this game to anyone that even vaguely likes RPGs, you won't regret it.
