This is by far, the most underrated RPG ever! Anyone who missed this gem a few years back should get a copy any way they can and play it as often as they can. The only reason I didn't give this a ten is that the battle system could be improved with a target lock. It's a little too realistic for my liking, making it too easy to get your ass kicked if you make one wrong move. Other than that, pure RPG perfection!

I still haven't finished this game because it's story is so involving and rewarding to the player that I just have to explore the lush, realistic world to interact with all the prison's denizens. Finding someones once-hidden trove of weapons or spells is so invigorating I can't describe it!

If you can get a copy on eBay, go for it. If you love Morrowind or Oblivion you will never stop playing Gothic!
