Review by Vault Dweller when?
Having just completed my third playthrough, I think this is one of very few games that actually gets gradually better and better with each replay. The range of options is staggering, along with the way you can lock yourself out of entire questlines and areas.
If we ever re-do the RPGCodex Top 70, AoD could put up a seriously good fight for a place in the top 20 at the least.
imo top 5 easily.
Agreed. #1 or #2 on my list (only Fallout 1 can be considered equal in my book).imo top 5 easily.

2015 RPGOTY awards sure, but doing an "all time" voting right after a bunch of big releases is a bad idea. There's a HUGE bias towards more recent releases.seriously felipepepe
I think thanks to those 2 years we will see substantial changes to top70 hell even top 10 will see changes.
Also we need 2015 rpg awards like last year.
Matthew Mcconaughey currently orbiting our planet has finaly received AoD trailer and here is his reaction
Same here, this is my only complaint so far. That awful and nauseate rotating camera saves me from playing 24/7 though!I really wish game had 2D background.
That is my biggest problem with AoD; this game would really benefit from 2D. Icewind Dale with its beautiful environmental backgrounds comes to mind. But as it is, AoD's clunky camera - even worse than NWN2 - combined with graphics that I find strenuous to look out, take all the fun out of exploring. This is the first example of a game, where the graphics really detract from the final score in my opinion (NWN2 at least had a shitty story, so there wasn't much to loose anyway). I might finish my "sweet talker" playthrough, but I doubt I'll try another character.I really wish game had 2D background. Listening to this small but amazing OST really sets the tone and i feel 2D handpainted backgrounds would really really make game a lot better.

watching the retards come out of the woodwork
it's beautiful
these are some IGN-tier complaints right here:
-camera is difficult to handle
-can't complete all the quests
-can't play because game is ugly
-can't roleplay a transgender sheepherder pacifist
RPG Codex or Steam reviews? Take a guess!
Absolutely but it would require art resources we don't have.That is my biggest problem with AoD; this game would really benefit from 2D. Icewind Dale with its beautiful environmental backgrounds comes to mind.

I've become AoD fan ever since Teron demo came out (so early 2013). If anything, I'm a bigger fan than I was. Objectively it's the most innovative RPG since Arcanum with many fresh ideas and interesting approach. Subjectively it's the best RPG ever (along with Fallout 1). In comparison, Wasteland 2, Divinity Original Sin, NEO Scavenger and other recent titles (especially Shadowrun tablet games) aren't even close to its greatness in my opinion.2015 RPGOTY awards sure, but doing an "all time" voting right after a bunch of big releases is a bad idea.

To know how great & memorable 2015 releases truly are, you'd better ask in 2017 or so.
Care to quote someone who's complaining about "difficult to handle" camera? You are either stupid or a provocateur, sir. Probably both.these are some IGN-tier complaints right here:
