just shadow of Oblivion
Graphically, the game can not compete with greatness of Bethesda’s role-playing game that it is again Oblivion. I do not mean its graphic is bad. It is just tolerable. Texture is alright and landscapes are great but water is not as realistic as in Oblivion. Spells look fine when they are casted but Fire does not look good.
The character has been modeled nice. For example if you run and jump from a height you will land with bending knees. Your enemy’s animation, especially monsters aren’t so realistic. This will be more reveal in fighting. When you hit them they just show a poor reaction.
Fighting system is neither dynamic nor realistic. Just think about the movements with weapons. They are just fantasy you can never kill a troll with these kinds of movements in real world. AI is a disaster your enemies just want to kill you they do not escape and they don’t want to kill you from back. They just head toward you. There are just archers that if you get too near to them they escape to shoot you from another place.
Riding is more realistic than Oblivion it take time to increase your horse’s speed and you can also fight when you are riding. It would be a great succeed if collision detection wasn’t so sensitive. If you ran into a ground with a high gradient (you can pass this place with out horse), your horse will stop.
There is a problem that if it wasn’t, it could make the game sweeter. You can’t use teleport when you are riding. It is a great mishap to lose your horse especially when you are at the beginning.
The gameplay is easy and simple and is good for beginners. There is again a problem you don’t know the skills. You should find trainers and pay money to learn a skill. In real I think we can all sneak or pick pockets. It could be better if the level up by practice like Oblivion.
Alchemy is good. I didn’t use it a lot but it was nice. You could find ingredients to make your weapons more powerful by mixing them.
At last I want to mention the biggest problem that is the ending. At the end there is no way to continue, I it really ends. You can’t follow other task. It is really a great mistake for an RPG.
On the whole, the game worth playing but Do not expect Oblivion. It is much lesser.
