Yeah 17 hours in, all fun, i think about 3 hours on the main quest and probably at least another 10 hours of main quest, and 20 plus of side quests left! So...much...content...

Pros:
Content is HUGE
Game is beautiful
A lot of monster diversity
The world is HUGE
You HAVE to use strategy to kill higher up monsters
Ability tree is INTENSE (be prepared to go into a fight, die, then completely change your abilities out, add oil and potions then you MIGHT win (I'm not talking about the hardest difficulty either)

Cons:
They dumbed it down across the board for consoles, hopefully they will revert it for the PC but at the moment the graphics are not quite as good as they could be
As much as time based attacks are fun, it gets really, really repetitive
So many bandit camps....also try fighting 3 or more and they will just stand back and turn you into a pincushion
Less se....oh come on if you played the previous ones you know what i'm talking about ha
No predefined areas for levels, the game forces you to go back into several areas several times, you can be walking around fighting level 6s and BOOM a level 45 girffin decides to one shot you with an aerial attack, its not frequent but its common enough to be annoying. The area thing is nice, so you can stare at the beautiful scenery more, but come on, i have to go back to the level 8 area to kill the level 50 dragon? What.
Combat system....meeeeehhh

Overall: Is the game worth it? Hell yeah
Will you have fun? Yes
Replay ability? Depends if you do the side quests, the side quests are basically 2 other whole games but meh 7/10
Side quests inventive? Same level as detail as main missions, sometimes much less, but to be expected
Worth the price tag? Compared to a lot of other AAA games coming out for the same price, oh yeah.
