It's extremely pretty, I think this game has been in development for so long from what I understand which may be why it has this somewhat dated look.

I love what they did with the stances, I got about as far as you did due to being busy as hell but I can't wait to see just how much this plays into combat. If it's just a preference in style or do you really need to switch stances to be way more effective depending on what you're fighting.

All in all I'm really enjoying it so far. The loot system in this game adds a nice touch and I love being able to see if its an upgrade before I even pick it up. Can't wait to start with the skills, I do hear there is one that lets you do your active reload stamina instantly when you dodge.

I'll put more hours into this today but so far I'm pleased.
