At least you don't need to install.
You don't, do you?

back on topic. that game is so friggin' awesome. like posted above, only reload when you die (of course), let the rest play out and you will have twists and turns and glorious new developments around every corner. the writing is good/bad but so far it's on the good side, especially some dialogues are quite funny as in situational, no fart-jokes or forced "quirky/comic-relief" characters.
a few tips:
climb every house and fence you can find, there are always goodies around the corner which saves you buying them. sell your stuff at the last possible moment if you are sure you don't need it anymore. it's pretty safe to sell food and weapons, everything else may play a part in a future quest. if you are bad at fighting, invest in lockpick/sneak/pickpocket and volá: no more money problems (which in turn you can use to buy permanent stats boost potions). pickpocketing also gives you amuletts/rings to boost your stats if you wear them. if faced with multiple enemies, retreat to a narrow corridor and have them come one at a time. Don't be hasty and use block often, if you see the enemy perform and parade or charge his swing, back up immediately, those are mostly unblockable.

PS3 games sometimes have lengthy "installs" to the HDD.

You mean gurl-gamer who hasn't played anything else except such pinnacle rpgs as fable 2 and oblivion.

I'd give the game a 10/10 simply for the awesome little thing that happened after I died falling off a roof.
It was a simple enough situation. I wanted to jump from one roof to the other, but didn't quite hit the spacebar fast enough. Happens all the time in all kinds of games. Thing is, I managed to make my fatal landing right in front of a guy, who immediately pointed at my now lifeless corpse and screamed "HA! WHAT AN IDIOT!" and started laughing.
Then there was the situation with the guard I busted scamming reefers. Shortly after taking all his weed and kicking his ass, I talk to him to rub in my victory and get the "hey, can you train me" dialog option. I figured hell, why not. I just leveled up off the guy and could use some sword training. Cool thing was, asking actually pissed him off and he refuses to speak to me now.
I don't care what the reviews say. This game is grand.

It's all sorts of awesome, although I've just encountered a game-breaking bug.
I started chapter 3, the one where you enter the temple under the Monastery. I fought my way through, unlocked the big door, got past the massive crusher trap, fought the next lot of lizardmen, and the inquisitor vanished. No worries, think I, he must have gone ahead.
I pressed on, chasing down the hunters, freeing Harbourtown and liberating the Monastery.
Eventually, I ran out of things to do, so headed back under the mountain thinking there must be something I'd missed.
Indeed there was.
The Inquisitor fell into the lava during one of the battles.
I need to give him the map I recovered from the hunters.
He can't get out of the lava, so I can't give him the map, which means I can't continue the main quest.
I'm fucked :E

you can kill EVERY npc in this game afaik. sure, you won't be able to finish THAT quest but theoretically you could have killed him yourself if you would want to. it could be that you don't "finish" the game as in "get the ending No.X" but it aint over.
oh noes, he's trapped ? no savegame before ?
anyways, how much have you played up till Chapter 3 ?
because I played around 15 hours and I am still in Chapter1. I won't join any faction yet and I am already pretty buffed and can hold my own out there in the wilderness.
about that reviewer - what a moron.
HE GAVE ME THAT QUEST AND I HAD TO DO IT BECAUSE I HAVE NO FREE WILL OR IMAGINATION OF MY OWN. THIS GAME IS LINEAR.
and for example do I find the levelling system much more interesting and "tactical" as a simple magical stat boost every now and then without the character actually doing anything for it besides solving quests. having to go to a teacher to learn something is pretty good for me. only if I join a faction and i am part of it I find it a little stupid that i still have to pay them (especially for the brainwashed inquisitors)
