So much better than expected... beautiful setting, great stories to unravel, patient and helpful community. The fights are standard MMO-type battles (somewhere between WoW and Wildstar), but you can vary your character almost any way you like. The dungeons should be instances, however - many times you just happen to be late from a boss or a chest, and the loot is not that memorable, The crafting system is one of the best I've seen, easy to understand, easy to use, you can pick any and all traits you'd like, you don't have to choose.
