They might have been bashing it, but they did have some valid points. One of the first things they mentioned was saving. I've run into countless save issues since I've been playing. Numerous times I have quick saved before turning in a quest or doing something else, only to hit quick load only to return to the LOCATION where the quick save was used. None of the data was saved, I was only teleported. Also, difficulty. I didn't have much of a problem, but without any kind of warning, For alot of people not used to this style of game, will be a huge turn off. Like they said, as a level 3 player, not being capable of handling a group of level 4 enemies is pretty bad. Even as a warrior I noticed it a few times. This game had some huge potential in my opinion. Awesome concept, truthfully. Turning into a dragon is incredibly cool. Getting your own fortress tower, with multiple uses, also very cool. But there's so much this game lacks. I refuse to believe this game used the same engine as Oblivion, unless I am shown some concrete proof. If it's true, then larian studios, I am sorry to say (If this sounds harsh, I'm sorry, I used to be in the military.) but they S*** the bed as far as graphics and use of the engine go. Oblivion looks much much better. The guys in the video mentioned the water. That was one of the first things I noticed right after starting the game, That the water looked like jelly almost. Everything else just looks bland and pale. Oblivion's use of the engine caused things to look much more lush, vibrant, and overall interesting. Both games play somewhat similar, but Oblivion accomplished the difficulty a bit better since stuff scales with you as you level, while still having areas that are too hard or too easy. As far as loot goes, Most of the stuff I have picked up is junk, heroic, rare, magical, legendary, a majority has been junk. I won't put out too many examples for fear of spoilers.
It's a cool game and cool concept, has some good points to it, but at the same time, it could use some serious work. I highly doubt I will be replaying it, especially if numerous people say the ending is terrible. And since I purchased the game on steam, I am screwed in that area.
