It's incredibly depressing I gotta say. Lol I literally got so tired of it last night that I just dropped the difficulty all the way down to casual so I can steamroll enemies and get on with quests.
And I remember now this is the exact reason I didn't finish it when it first came out.
I couldn't play the game on PS3 because it was soooooo laggy back when it first came out and I felt it was a huge waste of money but then I played it on PC and enjoyed it greatly (the story part more so than the combat).
