Amazing graphics with insane potential. Unfortunately, the insane part means it didn't meet expectations quite well

The game looks great. I mean, its beautiful. The character models are nice, well done and the unique NPC activity is wonderful. The game is definately a lot of fun for about the first 6 hours of play. But thats where the fun ends.

Story
Weak story, in fact, even following the main quest doesnt draw you in. There's no real mystery to drive you. There's no adventure to make you want to finish the quests. All you do is close the gates, and each gate is almost the same as the others. You dont see much of an impressive cut scene to inform you of what you've done, or what will happen next or a move on the plot. In fact, it feels all the same as if you're just drudging along

Not only that but all the activity you do, all the side quests dont improve you except for a few weapons you can gain or special items to wear. Honestly, you dont see much to do even though there is so much. Let me explain, everything you can do is repetitive. Each guild has its quests to conduct, but nothing drives you to do them. You dont feel like you're the character drawn into action to do what the quests require you to do. There are so many poor qualities to this game I wont even bother to explain them. The game had great potential...on the line of Zelda OCarina of time...that was a great game, this one however, is a failure. Great graphics, better NPCs than ocarina...but unfortunately thats all it has on zelda. Zelda was a great gaem and still is. I liked Oblivion for about a day. AFterwards, it was too repetitive and boring.
