Dog = Win
The story is great. You start off as a child and collect five gold coins to buy a music box that is magical and it can grant you any wish. Next thing ya know, BAM! You get warped 10 years or so into the future and you get to expirirence the full awesomeness of Albion. With your trusty dog you get to complete a plethora of quests that are all equally enjoying. There are also so many side quests, it's just I can't count how much. There are quests from buying houses and getting a sex-changing potion to quests where you have to command a ship and get 15000 gold in the end. It's engaging and I think it's very enjoyable. You can buy your own house, and marry a wife. There's also been a Knothole Island game pack.
There's also a coop option where you get to play with your friend, but it's not much since you can't control your own camera and you can't bring in your own character to play; only a pre-made one.
I really like this game and low reviews don't do it justice. This is a good game. I give it a 9.5 score.
