I still remember the first time i played this game. From the beginning, the game hooked me - the first 15 minutes simply wow-ed me - that is how a good game should be! One of the coolest things in it is that you can walk almost everywhere right from the beginning, but you must be careful, because without proper armor, basically everything can kill you at first. The first people you will meet are even telling you stuff like "...and DONT go into the woods" You can also rob people if you'd like, sneaking around at night and opening chests with left-right-combinations. The game area is not very big.... but it is dense. There are lots of NPCs with which you can talk, and it feels like half of them are unique (meaning they have their own). It goes on... EVERYONE is completely voiced in this game... if you just put out your weapon in a crowded place, people will get angry... Later in the game people who are against you but on the low side of the pecking order inside the game will just run away... you can transform into animals to get beyond guards... As you can see, the game has a lot of depth which is hard to explain in a simple review. Once you are finished, you can even play the second game from the series, which is much bigger and continues the story - you will see a lot of familiar faces in there. I give this game 5 stars. For me it is an absolute classic!
