Great game, but I don't love the gimmick of rerolling. You might get a perfect roll, only to be forced to discard it almost immediately because you need to change your purchases, class, skills, etc. And then spend an unknown amount of time rerolling over and over until you get close enough to the desired stats. Repeat for nearly every objective. I think it would be much less annoying if the player was given more adjustment points to play with.
I really like the story element. It's reminiscent of a lot of other fantasy stories, like dragonlance or legend of dragoon (not related to dragons afaik, that's a coincidence). But even though it is familiar, it's well-written, and it's nice to have actual characters and dialog etc., which is becoming more rare these days.
You can skip much of the dialog, but it is important to at least scan for important information so you know what you're supposed to be doing, or how you're intended to accomplish a task.
