Way underappreciated. I had a very good time playing and the world feels so real ive dreamt a couple of times about it.
-A large free roaming world with a realistic landshape (unlike oblivion)
-The world really seems alive and you seem part of it. -Nice graphics (but not on my pc)
The Bad:
-A rather large amount of bugs, just as many recent games who are released in a beta stage
-everyone is saying the same thing and many people have the same voice.
-combat sounds are really annoying, sounds like someone is taken from behind pretty hard.
-combat is hard to master
Overall i spent i guess about 80 hours with this game in less then a month. It really got me addicted. After i played Oblivion for nearly 100 hours i really began to hate it, i didn't had that with this game but that can be personal flavour.
To me the battle between Elderscrolls 4 and Gothic 3 (and yes this are games to compare) was not won by 1 of them. They are both great games with their only qualities and flaws and i really enjoyed them both.
Its just a shame this game is so underhyped and Oblivion so overhyped.
