The game is interesting, but maybe because I am a female, I am more picky and fussy...
I find it tiring and boring to go in circles on the map just to level up before entering in a city and participating to an event.
For example, right now at the beginning of the game: I need to level up high so I can fight the bandits. And for that I have to walk round and round on the map to high level up my character. So that it's tiring and boring. Sorry to disappoint you with this.
