Vielleicht komme ich ein anderes Mal mit dieser Steuerung zurecht...

One of my absolute favorite games that I've played through so many times since I was a kid that at some point I stopped counting. I love the world, the characters, the absolutely fantastic dialog and voice acting, the faction system, the music and pretty much everything else. The combat system can be annoying at times but I really don't care too much when playing this masterpiece.

Fantastic and revolutionary for it's time! Open world, peculiar RPG system (Mage's armor is also armor, and infinte inventory), I've spent a lot of happy hours there.

Amazing game!
Good story, amazing game mechanics!

As far as I can tell, there's no way to get through this without being a scumbag, so no thanks.

Everything about this looks visually like shit and its sad that i've gotten to the point of praising something because "it looks ass" and i laugh about it, its like laughing as a kid because because your teacher said "penis" or "vagina", now i dont even know where im getting at with what im saying but is JUST LIKE IN THIS GAME, no i dont want arrows, i dont want to be handheld to where i have to go, but the fact that this gives me the same feeling as [insert empty sandbox openworld] speaks volumes for me so the shelved games it goes, i'll pick you up some day again baby because there's still something in you i could dig up...
