This game is even funner the second time
The graphics in this game are amazing. From lush forests to tall mountain peaks, this game has it all. All of your weapons are shiny and pretty to look at and I just love to mess it up by smearing the blood of my enemies all over my sword. The physics are very good and the lipsyncing is practically lifelike. And the human faces do look pretty much like a real human which is definantly a step up from morrowind. And you wont just find the graphics at its prime in cities. Out in the wilderness there are tall trees, bright flowers, and flowing grass. Not to mention the occasional ruin. Compared to the 360 version though, the graphics made a slight improvement but nothing really to go crazy over. GAMEPLAY
Well this is pretty much the only place where the game is slightly below perfect. I just am not fond of the whole enemies level up with you thing. I know it is just to keep the game interesting but still it just makes it seem like your not gaining anything from playing the game hours on end. Everything else is good though. Sneaking is now useful with the strategic critical damage system, and the unautomatic blocking again makes the game more strategic then just a polished up point and click. But what really gives the game its extreme awsomeness is how you can live the agme however you want. You actually have the ability to kill ANYBODY. But that doesnt mean you will just go slahing anybody you see. There are consiquences to every illegal action you do. Well that is if you are caught.
SOUND
This game really brings the section SOUND to a whole new level. There are litterally hundreds of hours of text read to you by half descent voice actors. And I dont just mean they say a few things and then you read the rest. Everything you see in words is read by an actual voice actor. Thats is not something you come across very often. And the music is nothing less than perfect. It really fits the medieval theme. It can go from peacful music while your walking in the forest to tense rugged music when you are fighting a tough enemy. And how can we forget the sound of metal clinging on metal or a helpless animals organs getting splatered eith a warhammer. It is all just realistic beyond belief. Sometimes you wonder what they had to do to get the realistic noises of death.
AI
Its great. Your opponent wont just randomly hit you, step back, hit you, athen step back again. They ready there sheild when its obviouse your about to do an attack, dont hit you when you blatently have your sheild up, and even use healing spells when their about to die. And the weaker people that your pick a fight with wont just stay there and die. If they know theyll get killed they will run away and go off to tell a guard. And even your animal enemies know what level you are and will stay away if they know theyll get slaughtered. Overall I was very impressed with the AI.
SHOULD I BUY THIS GAME
Oh god yes
