This game offers new players a captivating story line with fully customizable characters. In addition to the classes every role player has come to recognize over the years there is a dynamic element to the play style. The custom behaviors are an interesting point to note. This offers an simplified scripting option for each character. You can command your character to use a particular ability given certain predefined conditions are met, for those who are new to scripting. I wish world of warcraft had this option but that's another story altogether. I doubt a return to wow is likely anyhow. The character models are good, however the environments are nothing groundbreaking. Also you will need to stay way ahead of the minimum system requirements as this game is demanding specially above the 1280*1024 setting. The graphics engine is fully scalable so you can reduce detail to suit your performance needs at the cost of eye candy of course. Personally for me this game brings back memories of a more sophisticated time where game development was a very thought out process unlike the rushed console ports we see now for the PC. Personally this game is worth the money and if your truly into role playing it should not disappoint.
