Fancy being an assassin, Warrior, Or simply a handyman? Look no further! This immersive game is a must own.
The game opens and you are asked to create your character, of which you can choose different races, all of different strengths and weaknesses. The looks vary, from a shrek-like orc, to the human Nord. From there you are traveling through a maze of tunnels and caves, facing demonic goblins and super-rats. This is only the beginning.
You will also on your travels face such creatures as demons, something which vaguely resembles the Darth Maul, crabs and fish. Scared yet?
However unlikely this may sound, the solid graphics and almost perfect sound makes all this perfectly reasonable, and the immersive storyline only adds to this.
I say “storyline”. There is a very vague main quest, for you to do at your leisure. I’ve had this game for a week now, and I’ve hardly been involved in the main quest. I get my enjoyment from joining the secret dark guilds, a rebel to authority. Surprisingly, this disregard for the main quest is encouraged in the manual for this game, where it invites you to enjoy this game how you see fit – either as a noble warrior or a feared assassin. All this combines to make a game I have found hard to put down for those 8 dreaded hours of sleep.
Of course, with any game there are a couple of flaws. A couple. I am no the Xbox360 version, and yet I, reasonably frequently, encounter very minor frame rate issues, usually when roaming in the middle of the countryside. And also, there are frequent loading times, although this is probably to be expected considering the huge nature of the game itself.
All in all, this game is a must have for all who have got this far to read this review. I am never usually a fan of RPGs, but this one is just... special.
