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.

I've only played about seven hours of it, collectively, so far. I don't get enough time to go on it, and I'm more interested in killing bandits in the woods. Head shots off the longbow are fantastic. The music is amazing, aswell. Not found any villages yet; but I've been catching plenty of fish, flirting with women (although the men are alot more fun), and today I saw my first Hobbe. I have two mint scars on my face, and a bunch on my chest that I got from a bandit raid on Orchard Farm. I'm trying to make this guy as "me" as possible. So, I ain't gonna commit a bad deed to get through a demon door.

Funny quotes I've heard are:
"He's an a***hole."
"Little scrote."
"If only I was a woman" when I flexed my arm to a trader.

And a demon Door says he won't open until I prove I love him. I've flirted with him and everything, but nothing. I haven't got a wife yet, either. I go by the name of Ranger, but it was a temptation to get A***face.

WHAT A GAME.

Bah, lost about 2 hours of play because I tried to save and it... well, didn't. It was only in training, mind, so I soon got back to where I was.

So far probably my favourite XBox game, even though I haven't played it too much.

Started my evil character the other day, so far I've barely done any missions and my guy's got a full grown pair of horns and his eyes have gone bright read.

Went into Oakvale earlier and killed everyone in the village and s**tole god knows how much s**tuff from their houses. Tis very funny being evil, I especially laugh at some of the ges**tures you can do to people. The insult one's the bes**t, for some reason everytime you do it the guy says "sh*t" seems to really offend the villagers along with the humping ges**ture and much farting.

It's excellent not having to care about what your guy looks like as well, my dude is one ugly but also badass looking mofo.

It's like a cross between Baldur's Gate and The Sims rather than a hardcore RPG.

The sort of thing people should play to findout if they like the RPG way of doing things.

Really loving this game, much better than I thought it would be. I've been playing it for around 30 hours and I'm still building up my character, and I've barely started the main story. My character is so cool as well, I have the full dark plate armour suit which is very smart, and the dark chainmail helmet. Everyone is scared of me now.

The tramp beard is better cause its designed to make you look like a skanky unemployable cretin. :-) And yeah, playing this tramp brings back many harsh real memories. ;-)

Oh yeah, well my bum has a stick and enough beer to make George Best look away in disgust. Beat that. ;-) Can't wait to marry Lady Gray - just the idea of that stuck up posh bint being married to a smelly gross tramp brings a smile to my face. Just a shame that when she asks if I have a house, I can't hold up a cardboard box in front of her...

i love the game, got married 3 times, 2 wifes, 1 husband. Went evil divorced one wife, killed another, then did anal with my husband before deciding to take his head off with my crossbow, pretty funny. Being a bum sounds hilarious, might have to try that for a few hours lolol

Hehe... the graves in lychfield are amusing. Found one that said "Cpt. J. Sparrow. May the wind be always at your back." One said "Here lies Owen More. He died owing more than he could pay." There were loads of even funnier ones that I can't remember.

My evil mage now owns all of Oakvale bar the items shop. 13k every 3 days, from 8 houses, 3 barns, a tavern and a weapon shop!! Thanks to it I now own a master katana with 2x mana and 1x xp augmentations. my will bar stretches all the way from the left of the screen to the map on the right. I have full level enflame, fireball, lightning, slow time and drain life spells.
In short, I rock!

Heh

Sounds like fun.

Haven't finished with my good character yet, just finishing off collecting some stuff and buying a few more houses.

Next up I'm gonna do an Evil Mage and after that I plan on doing a cross dressing homosexual that conkers the land with a mohican haircut and a wooden stick.
