Great game, mediocre RPG
Finally, the game is available on a non-Steam platform, and I can play it. Thank you, GOG. I've put about 20-30 hours in so far, and I'm already seeing a few of the down sides that Oblivion had, amplified. As in previous Bethesda games, they've created an absolutely amazing world. Unfortunately, between the horrendous console interface, mandatory quest markers (no directions given in most quests if you want to turn the markers off), and limited options in dialog (Oblivion had more, Morrowind had FAR more), it's a rather marginal RPG. Yes, you can play "dress up doll" with your character, but a lot of it is meaningless. The perks are a sorry mess, and Attributes are missing; everyone has the same jump height, same carrying capacity (other than with perks), and other generic aspects, rather than each character being potentially unique and interesting from the start. It's still a good game, but it pains me to think how much better it could have been if Bethesda had focused more on choices and consequences, rather than making it so one character can do and be everything.
Is this helpful to you?
