Dumbest story ever, with lots of boring in it.
I've bought this game on X-Box 360 and it still haunts enough to tell your about it.
The graphics/sound: Decent for that time (but awful dialogues)
The gameplay: You play a dude "hero", fighting monsters. Boooring.
The quest: Never got past generic quests and generic monsters, and put down the game out of disappointment and boredom. The original motivation (revenge?) was so poorly introduced you won't care.
The Background: There's a level of silliness so naive it is just baffling. Let me tell you the intro. There will be "spoilers" (ahem). If you have any ambition in story or scenario creation (for a novel, a RPG, whatever), then this is EXACTLY what you need to NOT do. So...
You are some kind of dumb dude from a village of fishermen that knocked up the daughter of some other dude with a baby. I use the word "dude" because the writer failed utterly to make me interested. And "dumb" should be understood as a medical condition: The hero is really, really limited in brain power.
Instead of trying to make yourself appear a responsible future father, you decide to learn to fight (because mercenary life is a fulfilling one when you have a family?), and kill some crabs. You get to convince your fiancée's father you're worthy (I killed crabs and pixies!), then she announces out of the blue that, while pregnant, she wants to explore the world before the baby comes out, because after, she won't be able to. After all, who, in medieval times, full with monsters, orcs and demons, wouldn't want to explore the world while pregnant?
Hopefully, some pirates come to the village, slaughter everyone, including your fiancée. And you feel suddenly filled with righteous vengeance, and go the continent to... avenge. Or something. Then, silly generic quests.
That's the thing: I am not even kidding.
The writer tried to build pathos using a generic my-fiancée-is-deeeaaad story overwhelming with stupid irresponsibility, then send you out in the world for revenge.
