Gave it a go today, leveling is about as quick as CRPG, maybe a little slower. (lvl 18 in an evening of playing compared to ~20)
It has a lot of nice features; bleeding, sprinting, free respecs etc.
It's not quite as balanced as crpg, 2h lolstab is present in full, but it's still a nice way to spend some time.
All in all a nice mod!
