I've read so many different reviews and it seems this is a game you'll either love or hate, no middle ground here. Now I like rpg's, but the lack of towns and talking to certain characters (who often repeated the same lines) started to get boring. Aside from fighting, (the sidequests that come up later, equiping weapons/armor, etc) is there anything this game offers? Any quick time events? Is it really just going in a STRAIGHT line with no branching paths or circles anywhere?
