Ever said to your self: what a waste. I do so, especially when badly manufactured products are made from high quality raw material.
This applies to this game. I keep playing it because of the decent renders. Alas, the good rendering skills, which could be honed even more, get crushed under the weight of the slow progression, the not so well thought mechanics, and some bugs, all leading to confusion and to missing many of the good scenes and events despite of going through the overly grinding motion.
The story is classical and timid, but that is only because of the many unexplored potential development venues. Serious r-writing can make great use of the decent raw material including both renders, and idea.
