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.

Another entertaining night in Albion. I now own Oakvale except for once shop which will be mine soon. Also managed to find a shedload of secret uber power full weapons and open a couple more demon doors.

Decided to get rid of one of my wives also and trade her in for a newer model as well. The new wife didn't last long, within seconds of us being married she was calling me ugly (not really that suprising as my guy's developed a really nasty scar on his face) so I slugged her in the face, she kept complaining about it so I kept doing it. Was getting ready to take her down the beach and show her the sharp end of my katana sword when she divorced me. Cheeky bint apparently wanted to carry on renting the house from me as well so I chopped her head off.

Now for some reason half of Oakvale run away when they see me coming, where as the other half want to have my babies.

Excellent game!

Hes basically a classic example of football player who had it all with a massive career ahead of him, but just went further and further downhill with booze and stuff till he was just left as some sad drunk who the media like to kick when they haven't got any good stories. ;-)

Also, for future reference, add the name Gazza to the list of this type. ;-)

I was 100% good in my first game. donated about 35k in total to Avo, got the gift of youth, and the title of Paladin.

I prefer to start off good. being evil is generally easier, as u can do whatever u want.
