Pros: beautiful graphics and sound, decent plot so far, intricate combat system.
Cons: lack of customization may turn some people off, sluggish engine, some bugs, complexity and lack of in-game spell and item descriptions make the SRD a necessary evil.
If cost is an issue, I'd wait a month and see what people are saying after the game is patched. Personally, I haven't found it to be that buggy; the only crashes I've had were when I tried an unofficial patch. If your mouse movement seems slow, try upgrading your mouse drivers and look for an option to enable acceleration in games. If you're using the default Windows mouse driver, consider installing Logitech's mouse software even if you don't have a Logitech mouse.
