The best thing is the scope of what you can do and what kind of character you can be. There are three main streams of guild you can join. Fighter/Mage/Thief. There are many factions and groups that you could join which can advance your character in any number of dimensions. The best thing is that YOU choose. Do I want to be good, evil, or indifferent? Help the poor? Kill the poor? Steal from the poor? Be the poor? The variations are endless. Personally, I have played with a Nord Warrior and a Breton Mage. Both very different, but I could have always gone the way of a battlemage to get the best of both worlds. This gives the game unparallelled longevity for a story-only game as opposed to other Xbox Live enabled titles. Everything you do, even the main story, will change depending on your character – i.e. HOW you do it. You could easily have this game in your collection for years and never play all the character possibilities.

Even with this taken into consideration, I have to give the game a kick arse rating. It’s basically a game I can keep going back to as long as I have this console. There will be many characters I would like to test out after this one (Thieves etc) and I expect there is no way that my current character will manage to do all the side plots as well.

RPG people, this is a must buy. Everyone else, check it out. It’s well worth it.​
