Although advertised as an open-world role playing game, it is in fact nothing more than a third-person shooter. After three hours of playing, the game play is completely linear. There is no character interaction. The companions talk, but you cannot interact with them directly. You can only eavesdrop on their conversations, and if you miss something they say, too bad. Quests are one at a time and must be completed in a particular order. Combat is about mouse clicks. The faster you click, the more you shoot (or swing a weapon, depending on your class). Like all arcade shooters, you find power-ups, er, I mean, health potions as you go. The camera hangs well behind your character, which makes the game feel distant and impersonal. It's not role-playing at all, but a primitive arcade shooter.
