For as much hype as it received, I expected more than "yes it's generic but everything in this genre is generic." This doesn't even try to break the mold. Maybe the story is that good, but you can't convince me that filling out a generic fantasy world with a bazillion paragraphs of generic back story makes the game any better.

I mean a couple hours in and the game is basically trying to make me become Rand from Wheel of Time.
