First of all, you would think that they would have solved the bugs before issuing the 2005 gold edition but, no, and you'd better save often and in more than one file because it will crash often and very badly. You won't be able to close the unresponding application through the usual "ctrl-alt-del" combination, you'll have to restart windows to get out of the mess and even then, sometimes, you'll find your latest saved game corrupted. As for the game itself, the graphics are OK for the period but very boxy by today's standard. The story is interesting, the game world very vast and totally explorable and there are multiple side quests that are quite feasible if, and it's a big if, you can survive long enough. Your starting character is so weak and useless with weapons that you'll be no match for anything than a harmless sheep. Gaining experience is a long and arduous process where you'll have to run around to find someone that can
    upgrade you in the area that you need (Yes, even strength and dexterity!). Resources are somewhat plentiful but their selling price is ridiculously low so that you can't really afford anything useful for a very long time. Even then, what's available to you will leave you ten times weaker and more exposed than your weakest foe. You'll most often have to resort to attract the attention of your foe and then run away toward a NPC (Often a single woman armed with a wood branch!) that will kill your enemy without too much effort when you, equipped with a light armor and high quality sword, will get killed often in one shot. Totally unfair and unbalanced game that, like me, you will soon quit out of sheer frustration.
