Nice graphics, nice setting, easy combat, lots of farmer accents.

So far I like, it all feels very Terry Pratchet/Harry potter. Mainly because of the accents, still cool game so far.

I got my guy an oriental moustache and everyone keeps calling him ugly. I swear the next person to laugh at him is gonna get my katana sword up their jacksey. Everyone keeps calling me Chicken Chaser for some reason, probably because I keep punting them around everywhere.

I've tried to hold back on killing people for no real reason so far, god knows I came close to killing one guy though as he just wouldn't shut up about fishing. Instead I farted at him and stole his bed for the night, tried flirting with him also but he just laughed at me.

The world's a lot bigger than I expected, haven't actually come across any villages yet as I've been mainly kicking bandits asses in the woods.

Still, I like so far.

You do age with magic use. I've used magic 55 times (mostly by accident) and only after 7 1/2 hours I'm 40. Bit annoying really, as I just got some brilliant magic abilities.

Got myself a wife, and gave a wedding ring to another girl. I'll maybe go on tonight and give her a boning.

Only problem I've come across is when you're trying to get someone to stop following you while battling, at times it doesn't work and gets really annoying.

Still, superb.

Yeah I didn't think you aged by magic use. Afterall, it would be pretty bleek on life span for the mages. ;-))

I'm on a mission to buy every property in the game. This is just like Monopoly now.

The music sounds rather Stargate-y at times.

Reached around 6 hours of play now.

Brilliant game, there's just so many different things to do and the world seems huge. I find it a little annoying people constantly reminding you to do quests. I was looking around for good prices on my chocolates and a shovel, and everyone was telling me about Maze in Oakvale. Shut up. Now.

Also, funniest thing ever.

"Hey there, stop, I implore you. Let me sing some verses for you."

Well, funny if you know where it's from.

You age as you increase your stats, so the more you increase your stats the more you age.
