Ok, the beginning is just waaay to boring and too long. All I been doing for like an hour it seems is reading. IS the whole game like this? I'd read a book instead. If there is a lot of combat please let me know, I'll force myself through the beginning.

Yes, in the beginning you will have lots of text to read, like Melthas said you'd better read it. No need to rush into the action without knowing alien world, infact you'll be rewarded for your patience and curiosity. Although much of the text and dialogs have no actual impact on the gameplay I simply advise you to read just for the sake of getting deeper into the world of Albion. And you are very right on it being more like a book, I mentioned above and many others have already said this before: if it wasn't the game it should have been a book. Because it feels like a really good sci-fi book, the one you would love to keep in your memories. It is that sort of games which you will call "great games" no matter how old they are. It is because they require imagination from player. Detailed artwork provides "visual tune" (couldn't get a better one for the lack of words in my vocuabulary) but it doesn't replace your imagination, it makes it work even more. Sometimes you'll be stuck but take your time and refer to walkthough only when you are really really stuck. It leaves a lot to think after you complete it and it's worth the trouble. :-) Questions will swarm through your head but once again it leaves for your imagination to continue the story. I have just completed it and I was simply amazed by this game, I knew it was really good one but I couldn't imagine how really good it is. But I have to say: it's not sort of game that is for everyone, I might add that this game is for people with good imagination and those of artistic nature. But then again there is good story and lots of little details you'd love to learn, such is the attractive world of Albion.
