This game provides combat pacing which won't ruin my hands or wrists in 6 months. I'm too old to play the button-spammy video games anymore. Everquest also provides some degree of sensibility in its world environments (bad graphic quality notwithstanding)....places built by Humans are Human-size; places built by Ogres are Ogre-size, etc. One of my pet peeves with a great many modern role-playing games is how it seems as though every last building, even mud huts, have vaulted 20 foot high cathedral ceilings. Dungeons are often confusing and maze-like, as they should be. Linear "Dungeons" composed solely of a series of straight hallways with little to no deviation even possible rapidly bore me.
This game has its faults as well of course, but I'll take the bad with the good because the good is good enough to be worth it.
