Get the last copy Best Buy had, get it home, go to install it... 360 makes some ugly, ugly noises and the install won't start.

So hurray, either my copy of the game is hosed in the ear or my 360 is dying. Again. For about the fourth time in a year.

Lemme kill some manticores and poo poo, god dammit! :argh:

E: Thought it might be the hard drive, but the game saves/loads just fine and plays alright without being installed. Obviously I don't want to just play from the disc, though. Anyone got any ideas?

My copy did this too. I think it may be something with the game as other things install fine. I just kept trying and it eventually installed without trouble.

The combat in this game is just amazingly... I'm not even sure how to describe it. Amazingly physical. It feels like you're interacting in a way games normally don't. I had a situation where an enemy wizard was stomping all over my pawns for some reason and I ended up just picking him up and tossing him off a nearby cliff. It felt completely natural and reasonable as a combat option.

I really do think I love this game. Yeah, the story is awful, yeah it has annoying design quirks, but holy poo poo the combat feels so good. Being able to physically interact with enemies really means something and it gives the entire game world a sense of weight that is almost otherwise absent in games.
