Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Quest locations are not maped and marked out for you, you will have to explore and find them, despite my 30 hours of play I dont feel I have gotten very far into the game yet and at this point I couldnt tell you what the main quest line is in the game there are several important issues that need resolving and perhaps they all tie in.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
If you'd like to engage in some good old school fantasy roleplaying that channels the pen & paper spirit of Baldur's Gate, mixes in some epic gameplay ala Diablo 3 and tops it all off with the high level tactical combat of XCOM and Jagged Alliance, do yourself a favor and buy this game.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Pre set graphics and sound seemed fine but I decided to change key binding configurations and several of the buttons on this screen had no text discriptions.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
***These are issues that would be a major deal in competitive multiplayer, but since D:OS 1 is a single player/coop game these issues are VERY MINOR and will hopefully be fixed for D:OS 2's competitive multiplayer component.
