Elder scrolls meets baldurs gate !
Gameplay : The combat is very fun hack and slash with different techniques and fighting styles with magic mixed in. You enhance your skills with alchemy and use different weapons for different enemies. The atmosphere is beautiful and very immersive with villagers cutting wood, children running around playing, poor people begging and it just has a real living feel to it.
Graphics : The graphics are very beautiful with rich textures, amazing art style, and a real dark rpg feel to it. It really makes you feel like your in a medieval land.
Sound / Music : The sounds make you feel like your really bashing that monsters brains in or wading through a swamp. The music also adds to the overall feel of the game and gives it more flavor.
Story : This is the best part of the game. There are just so many things you can do to effect the story. Every quest you do has different paths to choose and your overall outcome depends on how you choose. It is very open ended and I have played a good 35-40 hours and am only on chapter 2 so far out of 5 chapters. Wish I had more time !
I cant find myself rating this any lower than a 9.5 because of its great value for the price and it is just a downright amazing rpg.
