Advantages: Huge game, great graphics, excellent sound, immersive story

Disadvantages: Requires a powerful PC

Wow! What a game this is! This is a massive first person role playing game, with swords, magic, thievery and lots and lots of monsters!

You are allowed to play the main plot as quick or slow as you like opting to take on the many side quests before continuing with the plot. The main plot and sides are varied and interesting and generally involve lots of fighting!

The graphics are fantastic and as such this required a bit of a monster PC when it came out, I doubt it would play on the minimum stated specs very well.

There are also a ton of fan made addons to get that change any aspect of the game from introducing more varied wild animals to changing the way weapons and magic works.

This was also the first game to kick off the current trend for paid downloadable content when they released armour for horses... still that's how things go!

This game will last you for hours and hours, I played for a very long time and never go anywhere near finishing, the main reason I stopped is that I got stuck with no weapons in one part with some nasty baddies.. just lost interest after that!

Can't really fault this game, if you've got the time to play then go ahead, but remember this is one for the long haul, not just a quick blast!

Summary: One of the best RPGs ever made!
