It's been called the successor to BG. But it is very heavy on the dialogue. Also, it took me a day or two to really get into it. Some nights I didn't even load it up, just didn't feel like it.
With that said, I think there is a bit of a learning curve. Perhaps partially for the gameplay but more for the genre and atmosphere of the game itself. It sounds like Prowess went through a similar curve as I did while playing. I was interested but never really fully absorbed into it in the beginning but as I played it grew a lot of me. Not to mention that you can't really do a whole lot combat wise (at least as a warrior) in the early levels. So getting more abilities was definitely key. Now I'm playing through the last arc of the campaign and things are really interesting and I can't wait to get home tonight to finally finish it. (This game has lasted me a whole week just for the single player. I can't remember the last game that did that. I beat torchlight in 1 evening.)
Also, Mages are OP.
