Is;

- Beautiful
- Clever
- Funny
- Disappointing
- RPG-Lite (Not a good thing)
- Intuitive - combat/magic is great
- Again, beautiful
- Good in some of its quests - boasts are good

Isn't;

- Engrossing AT ALL
- as fun as you all said it was
- Awful
- Seamless
- Brilliant
- great-in-it's-social-interactions-which was-the-main-thing-everybody-appeared-to-love

It's good in bits, rubbish in others. Looks/sounds/feels great. Social interactions suck - you tap some buttons until someone likes/hates you, and then run away to some new place - there's simply nothing to do of any real importance - sure you can say 'get drunk and listen to people laugh' etc, then 'go kill monsters while drunk' - doesn't make the game any more interesting.

Good, but nothing, nothing to what it was supposed to be - and that's not just in the missing features, it's also in the simple fact it's just not as good as it should be....

Anyone wanna buy? O, and Riddick too, which was also good, but I didn't love it much either.....

How do you get those? I suppose sacrofising an extremely important person. And donating a load of money?

The best weapon I've got I think is with my good character. It came from the chest in Lady Grey's house.

Still not managed to find 20 keys to open that chest in the guild grounds. Also need to get the weapons from the 2 temples at some point.

I did it yesterday with full physique, Health and Toughness. I was good aswell, which apparently helps. Also, on a seperate game (evil), I had a go with the Sword of aeons. WOW.

You have to max out ALL strength attributes. However there are stronger weapons in the game, and they're much easier to get hold of.

I've got maximum physique and I couldn't pull the sword out.

Finished the game, waited for the credits to roll.......and realised I couldn't actually get any more quests from the Guild, possibly the only thing worth doing in the whole game.

Stupid.

You need to level up your strength stats as far as they go I think.
