This game by no means deserves a 1 or anywhere near that
The RPG elements are very good and there is a large range of weapons and armor. The spells are good but nowhere near powerful enough later in the game. The idea of combining weapons is good as you can either keep buying new weapons or can combine the new ones to make them stronger. Quests are ranged and for the most part fun and exiting. The different societies are a good idea and keep you interested as you try to work your way up the ladders and be a legend, but they should have made more of it.
I was going to give this game a 8.5 until I entered the southern part of the map where the game lets itself down. The difficulty level jumps up stupidly and you just end up dieing while just traveling from one location to another, quests are far and few in-between. I just switched from addicted to bored.
This sadly is one of the best of this kind of RPG on console second to Oblivion but this is only because these sorts of RPG are sadly rear on console. I want to see more of them, and please spend the time to make them good quality unlike this one.
