It is a slow game. Mostly just wondering around in an endless maze of caves with no map to guide you. I loved it.
If you're used to the kind of hand-holding you get from AAA games like Skyrim - quest markers, area map, someone always around to point you to the correct direction, this game might not be for you. You're on your own.

I played as an assassin, lurking around and backstabbing people. Was fund yet challenging - can't just run into a group of baddies and start whacking, it takes some planning to survive. At one point I set up about 30 traps to be able to stop the goons coming at me. Bled those guys out with bear traps.

Crafting is an interesting part of the game. Hunt down the best quality parts and create the most awesome weapon or armor in the game. Or just skip that and spend a heap of coin instead, your choice. The economy in the game was a bit out of balance, I think, as my locker in the private quarters was always full of expensive weapons to sell, and I never ran out of money either. Except for the Deep Caverns where money makes no difference whatsoever

Lovely, lovely game. I thoroughly enjoyed the "just wander around in caves and see what you can find" style of playing. The game itself won't force you to hurry up, so you've got all the time in the world. Refreshing to see a game like this among the hordes of way-too-dumbed-down games out there.
