wont play if you have to pay for a game it should work you shouldnt have to make changes to the game file to run it properly

A game from an older bygone era, when story actually mattered more than just graphical fidelity. The story is linear but that means that it is focused and there are fewer inconsistencies. The UI is clean and well done providing all of the important information you may need. I would say the difficulty is well balanced too, it is possible to make the game too difficult for yourself if you do not build your characters well, it is not a matter of spending every single stat point correctly, but just making sure you specialize a character around a main branch and then using other abilities and other characters to complement it/them. I dont think games that have kiddie borders that prevent you from ever failing are as fun as games such as DS1 where there is some amount of focus required to progress smoothly.
