Early feedback (not finished yet)

The thread title says what this is about. I've nowhere near finished yet, so it's not a review, but I didn't want to wait until then to say what a truly great game I think this is.
I love the originality of the story, and the non-standard characters that I've got so far. Already I can see their individual personalities coming through, so I'm being drawn into what's happening to them, as well as the fact that the story is exciting in itself. The quality of the dialogues keeps getting better and better. Exploration is - as always - so worthwhile. Discovered secret/hidden places, lots of goodies, quests, all the things that I enjoy about exploring. If it's anything like previous games, I know I'm going to miss stuff, (grits teeth - how I would love to get all the side quests first time round! I'd feel so smug!) but that's part of the fun of the replays. Maps are beautiful, and the towns are so different to each other! I'm fed up playing games (from some other developers, not from here) where it's impossible to know where you are because everywhere looks the same. Playability is excellent, and it's good to see "teleport" skill back again after such a long time. Won't know until I'm finished how it compares overall with TBOL and LF, but it's definitely shaping up as a strong contender.
Thanks Indy.
