Ok ,here are my impressions so far..
Awesome game engine, 1st person, not 3rd as the majority that have come out lately have been... interface nice, easy to use, has a few annoying features (like popping out of merchant mode when you buy something, so you have to go back in to sell/buy again..) Landscape is very cool, seems like there will be alot of places to explore (just wandering around the coutryside I found 3 random dungeons, and a couple of odd structures around... very nice topography on the land scape, not flat, lots of hills, mountains, streams, etc.. Admittedly I havent gotten that far into it, but so far its great..
Character creation allows you to create custom classes, or pick predefined ones (and there are a ton of predefined ones). Created a nice mix of a battlemage/rogue class. Havent gotten to deep into the story line yet, so dont know if it's worth a damn yet.. Havent had the chance to test out the more stealthy skills yet (pickpocket/sneak).. Combat seems fairly simple, 3 types of attacks with melee weapons, though I havent exactly worked out how to switch between them yet.
Ive got a AMD 1.4Ghz 512 meg ram with an ATI Radeon 7200 64meg card, and I almost feel like I need to upgrade the card on it.. Runs fairly smoothly, but I keep getting the impression it could run smoother.. Gamespeed seems a bit slow.. Walking and running are kinda slow, and mana regen. seems almost non existant (I hate having to rest to recover mana)
Overall, I give it a big thumbs up so far!
