Yeah I'm loving this.

My favourite thing is when enemies get smoked by their own traps. Makes me laugh every time.

I really appreciate the effort they put into making it immersive, no annoying quest arrows, item highlights or mini-map navigation, forcing you to actually observe the world in order to get around. Though this does create a bit of an issue in that it's impossible to tell from a distance whether something is an enemy or not. I've killed a few hunters/miners that I mistook for bandits. Sorry! My bad!

The dragons look amazing and are pretty cool to fight. Although it seems like they way to go is to hang back and pick them off with arrows -- getting close makes you vulnerable to their unblockable (?) instant-death bite-and-toss attack. Doesn't feel very heroic, kinda would rather get in there and fuck them up with my axe when they're on the ground. I was fighting an Elder Dragon and spent about 20 minutes slowly whittling it down with arrows and hiding inside a windmill when it landed too close. Worked well until the thing bite-grabbed me right through the wall and killed me. Unimpressed.
