Magnificent game, highly recommended
I've just completed the main story with over 200 hours of amazing gaming. I've spent more time on this than I think a straight story play-through needs, and I still have heaps of extra quests to complete. The world created both rich in visual and spoken word, sound effects and pace is amazing and certainly a credit to the developers who have made it so wonderful to play. The gameplay is fun, the controls on PC easy to get used to, the user interface and control of the story easy to follow. I found it hard to stop playing and my several months with this game have been so fun. As someone not usually into RPGs as such, I found this one easy to get into. Initially a little daunting, but once you get the hang of what crafting, alchemy, inventory management is required it makes sense. The world is so beautiful. I have a GTX 970 with i7 CPU and 16 gig RAM so everything was turned to the maximum settings, and ran smoothly everywhere. The effects in the game with the weather, through to the clothing and weapons, the scenery both above ground, in caves and underwater are all top notch. I think there is easily enough to keep you always looking for the next interesting thing just around the corner. There are some similar monsters, but you always get a new one as you progress through the areas and the game. The characters along the way are great and all of them have their own traits, stories and uses. Use the map to find your way around, consider the collectors edition strategy guide which was handy, but only used when I was a bit stuck. Have fun and explore, look up and around, stand and watch the world pass by, all amazing. As someone who grew up with the first ever games, I am so impressed by this game it is probably going to be one of my top 3 games of all time, only because not all games are the same type. So if you are thinking about playing this, YES do it, you will be impressed and pleased. Enjoy.
