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 got a GAD to claim and I would like either Fable or Morrowind. I take it Morrowind would be the better choice?

The thing is you wont waste immense hours on Morrowind, iv'e done about 20 hours and just enjoying exploring the world, people say it takes yonks be strong enough to kill a rat but I managed to obliterate one on my first encounter. It really doesn't live up to Morrowind still a great game though.

From what I have played of Fable it is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than Zelda which I had to fight to stay awake for. It may not be a master-piece but it's fun to play.

Haven't bothered with Morrowind, don't think I could honestly face wasting hundreds of hours with absolutely nothing to show for it.

Skies of Arcadia/Xenosaga are as far as I am prepared to go with RPG's. The thoughts of clocking weeks on end don't appeal greatly.

Morrowind pwns absoloutly nothing...well maybe it pwns getting punched in the face by Mike Tyson, but that's about it.

I hadn't touched this for a while, did another hour or so last night and really got back into it now. Am on the Lady Grey mission at the moment.

I thought the story needed a little more development, but another 5 hour would've been enough for the game.

BG:DA does not pwn it however. As far as I'm concerned Fable's the future of the 'Hack and Slash' RPG.

a 30-40 hour sequel would be very welcome.

Read my review.

Zelda pwns it.

Morrowind pwns it.

It can't win either way.
