This is my first time ever writing a review, that's how much the game pissed me off. I really gave it a chance, put 30 hours in it. But it's so irritating I can't handle it anymore. The story is nice and there are some interesting mechanics, but that's about it when it comes to what is cool about the game. Loading screens freeze up all the time (yes, I know I can get around it by alt-tabbing for a few moments and then coming back - thing is, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO IT). Quest markers disappear or show up in the wrong places. And realism in the game? Don't make me laugh. The game is realistic only in places where it's a pain in the ass for the user. In other places? Yeah, sure the local drunk can wipe the floor with the young blacksmith's apprentice who should be stronger and faster than him. Oh, no, horses CAN'T swim (hint - they really can). While you're saying that, Henry can't swim either (a kind who was raised in a village by the river can't swim? RIGHT). And of cours he can't even learn to swim, because why would he? Oh, and anything that comes up to his chest is automatically labeled as "too deep". And so on, and so on, and so on. I really wanted to like this game. I REALLY did. I saw the past reviews and YT videos and hoped to fall in love. But these bugs inbalances in a game that had 5 to have them fixed? Nuh-uh.
