It's here and it is amazing.
Gameplay:: 9/10
Only possible complaint is the loading times, but no they aren't as bad as some people make them out to be. As I go through the forest or a city maybe ever fifteen seconds it says Loading Area... at the bottom of the screen. But guess what? It doesn't skip the framerate at all, it just says it down there and you keep moving. Really isn't a problem, it is a little annoying when it has to load every time you enter a house but that only takes a few seconds. Everything else however is fantastic, from the tutorial to the storyline, which is absolutely fantastic, to just the extreme variety of everything you can do in this game. Combat is extremely fun and they have done a great job of combining, magic, stealth, and combat into one flawless system. Hit C to cast whichever spell you have, hit Ctrl to crouch down and go into sneak mode, which if done correctly you can sneak up on opponents and deal extra damage. Of course the swordplay is one of the funnest aspects of the game, it is very fun and easy to pick up, an extreme improvement from morrowind. A health bar for the enemies would have been nice though. Seriously this game is the essence of perfection.
Graphics:: 9/10
Wow... only complaing is if you don't have a computer that can run this decently, otherwise you will say wow every few minutes of playing this game. Landscapes are beautiful, character models are hyper detailed, just everything, textures, weather effects, dungeons, caves, cities, it's all awesome!
Sound:: 9/10
One complaint, it seems that wether you hit a wall or a rock or some dirt, it sounds like you're hitting metal, what's up with that? I dunno though, minor problem, but it isn't actually a problem :P Everything else is fantastic though, soundtrack, wind blowing through trees, rustling of the grass as you walk through it, dialogue, wow the dialogue is amazing! The conversations the AI have with eachother is a little rough around the edges but nothing too bad, and yes the AI actually have conversations with eachother, and they arent already set up conversations, they are free form and you can listen in on them and they actually make sense! It's really amazing.
Value:: 10/10
You cannot get bored of this game... seriously, I think it's almost impossible. The storyline is about 40 hours, which is already alot longer than most games. But after that you can walk around in the wilderness and raid camps, ruins, caves, dungeons, it's limitless! You can even own your own shops. And the number of side quests is amazing, almost everybody you talk to has a quest they can give you, and they are also all really different and fun to do. I've played about 25 hours and haven't even touched the main story line. It's just so much fun to run around and do whatever the heck you want.
9.5- This is the best roleplaying game out there, if you even remotely like these games and you don't have this one, you are missing out on alot.
Game challenge: Once you leave the beginning dungeon, I dare you not to venture off the beaten path and just explore the wilderness, instead head right to your first quest location.. it's hard.
