Picked this up recently and it's a great RPG. A real authenticity/realism vibe. No fantasy elements. Interesting combat system. Looks great, runs great (for me, not for all apparently).

It evokes memories of Gothic 2 with it's setting and the 'living world' concept that has all of the NPCs living their lives. Sleeping at night, working during the day, down the tavern in the evening sort of stuff.

I am particularly impressed with the attention to detail, the evident passion to recreate the look of like 15th century Europe. For example the towns are laid out in just the right way, with everything where it should be, as it was then.

The countryside is beautiful, the terrain rolls, villages appear here and there, a castle on a hill, with it's growing settlement and associated merchants and shops, tanners and blacksmiths all where they should be according to how this sort of thing was done in the middle ages.

This game is unique, a departure from the likes of Skyrim, and even the Witcher, that strives for authenticity and for the most part nails it. Highly recommended for fans of first person RPGs and anyone who is interested in the time period.
