Ya i played the demo for xbox 360 pretty nifty game. I tried to chnge my guy but it always made me a ranger :/
Yea the demo REALLY tells you nothing about the game. I played the demo and it was "meh" and someone picked it up for me and I was shocked at how much the demo didn't even hint at. The crafting system is pretty good, the other classes are really fun, the armor is nice and makes sense mostly. The enemies get smart and your pawns are useful, not morons that just get in the way.
Really don't judge the game from the demo because it leaves SO MUCH out. If you can borrow/rent it I would and give it a real try or if you really liked Dragon age or Legend of Dragoon ( ps1 Rpg) I'd pick it up.
