its so freaking awsome its bigger then morrowind
Actually it's not. The game is cool, but it's seriously lacking in a few departments.
Don't get me wrong, the game is really cool, but a little bit clunky. The environments are kinda KOTOR style, where you can't just go anywhere, and you can't jump or swim.
The character customisation is meager compared to morrowind, however the ability to change tatoo's, haircuts, clothes, etc. and the fact that they affect how people respond to you is pretty awsome.
The game kinda feels like Zelda windwaker to a degree, very similar, but I can't put my finger on it.
There don't seem to be that many weapons in the game, of course compared to morrowind.
The battle system is a bit tough to get used to, but almost reminiscient of a really cut down ninja gaiden.
I really love the magic, i think its very well done, and reminds me of diablo for some reason.
The same thing goes for the enemies, very very reminiscient of the diablo series.
As far as the ranged weapons, very difficult to use well, but I imagine I'll get used to it. Be careful not to shoot friendlies by accident, I've killed many a good trader that way.
Being able to boast is pretty cool, but I guess you have to be plenty skilled to pull off whatever boast you put out, especially the "finish quest without taking a single hit" one, which offers you tons of gold.
I already found a wife, apparently my character is ultra-sexy, the women are ALL attracted to me, however I'm not sure how to buy a house, or how much dough it will cost.
I wonder if I can flirt with my sister if/when I find her.... that would be funny as hell.
I can't wait to beat the game, and then go through it super-evil like I did w/ KOTOR, they make it seem like a lot of fun to be a badass.
So heres my rating, which is biased because I loved morrowind so much, however, from what I can tell, it wont be like morrowind in the way that you "suddenly realize I've spent nearly 900 hours playing this game, and what has it gotten me, I'm still not done! I might as well kill myself now!"
So far, the game is 8.8 out of 10, but I expected it to be closer to a 9.5.
This is based on how I judge the game, which may be reallly different than anyone else.
for example I give morrowind a 9.1
Right now I'm not very far though, I'm only up to the quest where you go back to the original town that you start out in, and have to infiltrate a bandit's stronghold to do something involving the seeress. I am absolutly stuck here, as you're supposed to sneak past the guards, and I have no clue how to do so. I spent an hour trying, and got frustrated. If anyone has an easy way of gettin g through that part, please explain.
FABLE!!! w00t.
