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.

Yeah I know what you mean, I've tried a few ways of opening that cellar. Even tried taking the wife there before I married her for a sneaky shag seeing as she worked there. But of course nothing happened. ;-))

Oh and I did all that stuff for Lady Grey and when she asked if I wanted to marry her, I told her where to stuff it. Snotty cow.

I've tried flirting with the landlord but he's having none of it. I got it him drunk and he just laughed in my face.

There must be something you can do with the tavern though as there's a locked cellar door round the back of the one in Bowerstone South that's just begging to be opened.

You can't pick the lock or smash it with your fists though, must be some way of getting in there.

Hey, maybe you can marry the fat ugly barman then and buy the tavern. ;-))

MWAHAHAHA!! All evil flee's before the Legendary warrior Avatar!! with a scariness and attractiveness of +100, no woman can resist, and no enemy shall stand!! 4 wives (one of them mayor Grey), about the same amount divorced, 1 killed (it was a mistake!! honest!!). With Ronak the Axe in my hand, all undead soon become redead. Oh, and my record chicken kick is 17.625, and i've thrown up once.

I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

EDIT- So far I've only been able to buy the barber shop, due to marrying the barber, and i didnt have the money at the time. Is there a way for shops to become buyable without killing the current owners? and how do u decapitate?

I don't think you can buy the pub.

I led all the pub staff out onto Oakvale beach and decapitated the lot of them, went back and there was just an empty pub wit that strange leprechaun man that makes up those crappy poems....so I killed him as well.

Wasn't for sale though. A shop became available in Oakvale yesterday though so I'll probably buy that at some point as long as som bug*er hasn't beaten me too it.

The main quest of the story can be done relatively easy, but theres still a good bit to do beyond that. Since beating the main part, I've gone on to get a cool sword which I pulled out of that stone, clocked up the wife shags to 40 and I'm just generally enjoying the interaction with the NPC characters. Always going to the tavern with the wife and getting s**tfaced. Managed to chuck my guts up on the tavern floor a moment ago.

Think I might buy the local tavern at some point so I have a local business and stuff. Might even buy up a couple of other houses in Bowerstone and rent them out. That way I should have some good regular income for beer, er, I mean a comfatable life.

I'm on my second time through it already. It reminds me a lot of Zelda OOT except with no platform elements and a lot more fighting. It's a bit easy but it is really good fun, I'd say most people'll play through it at least twice because you can play as a good or evil character. I've finished it as an evil swordsman and am now going through it as a good mage. After that I might try my luck as a thief and then an archer.

Short game but plenty of replay value. :)

I'm going to try and get it tomorrow with the help of Cash Generator. I'm not particularly bothered about the main quest as a whole, more about the NPC interaction for me...
