Certain elements strongly remind me of Kingdom Hearts, which isn't
really good or bad (exp balls pooling on the floor and the slightly
too large feet, much smaller than the kingdom hearts feet though).

Elements I like; Lots of choices for playing a bad guy if that's
what you want to do. The Minigames (like showing off your quest
trophies to applauding townsfolk to increase your renown) are
interesting.

Elements I dislike. The economic model is a joke. Goods, I suppose
you are to buy low and sell higher, some of which are only for
trading, like sacks of grain. But I found a trader in the early part
of the game who will buy items for more than he will sell them for.
Yep, he's so stupid that I can buy items from him and immediately sell
them back for a profit, but he's such a good trader that he's got an
unlimited supply of gold for me to steal, er haggle away, from him.

Elements I hate; I can swing a two handed axe right through a
friendly or neutral and not hurt them, but the second I try that with
a spell the friendly/neutral is affected. Really makes using the Push
spell so you can get room to fire a Ranged weapon, or area offensive
spells, a pain in the ass if there is someone you shouldn't be killing
anywhere around you.
