Cartoonish environment like WOW. Similar to Skyrim, but not as in depth. The quests are fun. I haven't had any technical difficulties with the game yet. It installed easily and gameplay is smooth even at an average resolution with all eye candy set to the max.

The skill system is interesting and there are a lot of them to pick from. There are also these things called destiny cards. By selecting these cards, you can give your character different bonuses depending on your play style. IE If you want to be a mage, fighter or thief, these cards give that destiny choice a mana regen bonus, or a shield blocking bonus, or increase your chances at picking locks or picking pockets etc.

The only downside so far that I have encountered, is you have to log into the EA servers to be able to play your game.
