Visuals. Textures. Light Effects. This game has it all visually. Good polygon count on everything, luscious, shiny textures, and the time of day light effect very slightly changes to make every minute of the day brighter or darker from the next. The sound is great too - there must be days of voice acting put into it. Gameplay is almost infinite. I have about 20 hours, and haven't scratched the surface of the main story, so my friends tell me. There's thousands of side quests to earn some money or items. Also the guilds offer good rewards and experience. In my 20 hours, I haven't noticed any sort of bugs.... at all. Others say there are bugs, possibly with audio, but I haven't come across any yet. However, when you first play, the visuals may cause a headache. The framerate seems to be a little low, either that or motion blur. You will get used to it soon enough, when you see the moon shine on a snow-covered rock. Then you will drool. Also, as a fair warning, I must tell you that this game is highly addictive. Most of you have already played this, so you must know what I mean.
