85 on metacritic so far. Obviously a few fluff ones like IGN giving it a 9.3 and saying it's the best thing since Breaking Bad, but then ones like Kotaku giving it a 6 and making it seem like they're out for blood or something.

Hasn't affected my hype level either way (as reviews shouldn't), as the demo kicked so much ass that I'm stoked for another however-many-hours of gameplay to cap it off.

The main gripe may be the fact that characters don't really interact which I'm fine with tbh. I liked it for what it was.

Yeah and that's not a game-changer for me necessarily. The gameplay is great.

However I was reading over on the board that there is some "secret" dialogue / party chat stuff:

This was posted like eight hours ago so it's looking like pretty recent "news," which is weird because none of the reviews seem to mention this.

I saw that. Also, even in the dissatisfied Kotaku review, he mentions that there IS content that he didn't unlock

Yeah I wanted to regard IGN's 9.3 as the anomaly (mainly to make sure my own expectations are kept in check), but it honestly seems like the Kotaku review is the anomaly. Which makes me feel like a fanboy because my reaction to onlookers is something like "wow the first negative thing and you disregard it altogether what a fanboy LOL" or whatever.

I was thinking the thief, just to have steal from the beginning. The mage class (scholar, I think?) looks fun too. That demo idea actually sounds great. I may do that
