I don't mean to bump this but does anyone have anymore updates on this game? I may head down to BB or Target in a while and pick a few games up, thinking of giving this a try...

Bovice, I would suggest renting it first to see if you like it, I think you will get your money's worth because of everything you'll need to do, but I would rent it first.

I'll try and give you a simple rundown of it.
-Open world exploration without direction
-Very simplistic combat i.e. keep mashing RT
-Plenty of quests to do, main and side
-2 paths to choose from, Bandit/Order
-Lengthy game, 40+ hours if you do the majority
-Character progression including professions
-Different areas to specialize in: melee, ranged, magic
-Professions include gathering and crafting ones: Alchemy, Prospecting, Blacksmithing for example
-Intriguing storyline
-Game world has day/night progression and better than average visuals during both
-Glitchy camera controls at times
-Has different aspects from different games of this type: Fable II, Fallout 3, Two Worlds, Oblivion, and Divinity II to be exact

I enjoyed it, besides some bad graphics, the game is fun -- I wouldnt pay full price for it, but wait a few months and I'm sure you can grab it cheap!!!! I rented my on my game pass from BlockBuster and I cant put it down!!!! Storyline is solid, the quests are fun, but there are some downers, all around though a decent game (if you rent of pick up cheapt! )

Graphics aren't really THAT bad....I mean it's not up there with God of War III....but they aren't horrible.....Like Hooba said, it's a decent game....I ended up paying full price for it, it was store credit....but still, I wish I hadn't have done that.

I know theres a few people out there who wanted to give this game a try but were not willing to pay the $50 price tag. I stumbled across this game here on Play-Asia for $19.99. I have used this site before and my game was perfectly fine.

Played the PC demo and it seems like a shitty Oblivion/Dragon Age mix. It was pretty fucking gay.
