This is by far the best RPG I've ever played. Graphics may not be the best they can be but its still perfect. Armor shines, sparks fly, its very well done. I give graphics 9.5 and 10 to the rest of the games. I've started as a dwarf noble warrior and have seen so far underground halls and tunnels of dwarven kingdom. But I am really impressed. RPG is my favorite genre and this game is easily the king of the hill compared to other RPGs I've played including all the Oblivions and everything else. My life stops when I play this game. I feel so immersed and a part of the game, its just incredible. And this is only the beginning. I am not even out of the Origin scenario yet. Really, really impressed.
First go will be purely story mode, I'll do the side quests on a second play through with mage.
First game for the last 4-5 years that lives up to the hype. Game is a perfect round 10.
I really really recommend this game to everyone even if you are just remotely an RPG fan. But this is easily the king of RPGs.
