The game is worth buying. It has a good story line and game play. It has good graphics and a great sound track. I was disappointed in one area. It wasn't as open as all the previews explained. Actually it felt a little linear. Every map or town has paths and you can't venture off the general paths. You can't cut and take short cuts because of the invisible walls. As you play your charachter changes. he gets bigger or fatter. You could purchase tattoos, clothes, etc. the normal RPG stuff. Your looks change based on how you act: good or evil. Your skill or level ups is pretty much straight forward. The more battles you get into you get experience points. You then spend your points on level ups: stregnth, skill, & magic. It's that's simple. I gave it a 9/10. For a true free roaming game try Morrowwind. Yet, it's still a good game worth buying.
