Gave it a 4. Good game, endings need work. Ended with the rank of Holy Paladin despite a sin rating of 100, a compassion rating of 0, and having a full set of darkness armor equipped. =P
My single gripe with this game is inventory management - the system is not very user friendly. Perhaps for the next game (nudge), have an option between this and larger icons with stats already displayed that you can scroll through? Squinting to see the items.
Other than that, excellent. Hardcore is freaking hard =)
