Beautiful Game! Great Title that would accentuate any persons library as long as their PC can handle it.
After playing through most of the side missions, and alot of the storyline I am in agreement with most this is one of the best games of 2006. The game offers more than just a pretty face, it offers a great storyline alot of side missions, guilds, and a choice what are you going to be?
Graphically with all options set to maxium, (as long as the PC can handle it), offers scale and beauty, at the same times offers the hideousness of the creatures you face as well. OVerall everything offered visually is excellent, and very, very well detailed.
The setting offers, alot for a person to do, want to be a mage and join the mages guild? Go for it! Its not an easy task, because to join any guild you must go through a string of sub quests to get into the guild once in you got to go out and do more for the guild to incease your rank.
Money can be made in any way - Sell your pirated booty, sell your services as a body guard, or how abut you do some farming a pick up alchemist materials of the off beaten path. Of course you could always go tomb rading...
For me this game has not had one stability problem, and works great at max setting at 1440 X 900 resolution. I only wish this game did have an official online component.
