A "must-play" rpg of our era.
As soon as i started the game, my opinion about the series turned up side down. The minute i started, i fell in love with it. When i first got the game, alot of people were telling me that its not too long and it only takes about 40 hours to finish it. I can freely say that those people were wrong. The game is as long as you want it to be. There are many choices of optional quests you can undertake (not including the addon ones) besides the main quest. Game-play is very open ended, you can become whoever you want to become. Such craving of open possibility was one of the reasons why i got fable, but it just didn't deliver for me like this game does. You can become whoever you want to become; a warrior, a thief, maybe alittle of both, a mage, and so on. It's all realy up to you. The leveling system is not based on xp you get from mobs like in other rpgs, instead you gain levels by increasing the skills that you chose. There are hundreds of different character builds on the forums. The controls are smooth and very easy to learn. By the time you get through the tutorial dungeon, you will have more than enough knowledge to start your adventure. Many areas to explore and many dungeons to raid is all in the day's of fun. The graphics will definitely take you to another world. You feel the vibrance of the world with every spec of color and it's really a beautiful artwork to look at. If you are looking for that one, good rpg this year, pick this game up, you won't regret it.
