You get a lot more feats now it seems.Does this mean we have to listen to Little Feat while playing?
Or say "Feats don't fail me now" as we run from the blue meanies?

Also, Sox, thanks for the NYT link -- I kind of completely love that review, even more for what it doesn't say than what it does: it's perfectly free of the "yes I know it's a video game @@, but really, it's actually good!" stance. (You know, the one that's also applied to SFF that "transcends the genre", graphic novels that are (honest) real literature, and good taquerias...)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, it made no apologies for loving a video game. That was pretty cool.
