This game is awesome! It has all of those things that make it feel real! You could be free from the storyline! Not with side quests, but actually free! Rob stuff, kill people (careful, they don't come back!), and alter yourself to do this stuff. It is actually fun leveling up! It's incredibly strategetic (it's important who you be relating to this). If you read gamespots guide, you'll get an explanation to that. It can be hard or easy. The only bad part is the glitches and autosave. It autosaves when there is a glitch, when you make a wrong turn & defeat someone in the mages guild & get booted out. There is also an annoying reccomendation system to join the mages guild. In the end it's worth getting if you like sword slashing games with magic to change your stats & stuff like that. If you aren't into that kind of thing, but your friend reccomends it to you or something, rent it. Otherwise buy it and enjoy it.
(This is my first review. I don't think it's as bad as some reviews here.)
