This game is an oblivion killer.
You can play the game in 3 different modes, top down view, behind view or side view, the pictures show my character in side view - you can place him left or right, i found this the best way to play. If played in normal or higher option your herbalism is important to know as you have to gather herbs to make your own health potions etc., also taking to much health potions can make you sick instead of healthy. Meditation is needed to lvl up/ potion making. Great story so far im only just entered chapter 2, chapter 1 is more an introduction. Fighting talent is different, when u fight clicking on the enemy at the right time will cause your character to do better moves, click to early or late and your do worse than good. Best move is when u stun an enemy you can do a death move, cut his throat or slice him down the middle

One other thing this game has plenty of cut scenes which really moves the story along, these pictures dont really do it justice but the graphic detail is brilliant, especially coming from an modified NWN2 engine.
Great game so far IMO way better than Oblivion and Gothic 3.
