    Pros: Biggest and most realistic in scale fantasy game world I've ever seen; fun first-person combat; great roleplaying mechanics; keeps things unpredictable and fresh; the dungeons were always terrifying and ominous to go into; very deep gameplay, mechanics and story.

    Cons: Bad graphics by modern standards; some of the music is annoying; hard to figure out controls; steep learning    Pros: Biggest and most realistic in scale fantasy game world I've ever seen; fun first-person combat; great roleplaying mechanics; keeps things unpredictable and fresh; the dungeons were always terrifying and ominous to go into; very deep gameplay, mechanics and story.

    Cons: Bad graphics by modern standards; some of the music is annoying; hard to figure out controls; steep learning curve.

    Score Breakdown: Horror 10/10, Loading Screens and Frame Rate 9/10, Plot Development 9/10, Gameplay 8/10, Replay Value 8/10, Background Story 8/10, Voice Acting 8/10, Game Stability 7/10, Realism 7/10, Sound Effects and Music 3/10, Graphics 3/10, Total Score 7.3/10

    Conclusion: A good game if you can get past the obsolete graphics, sometimes annoying music, the controls and the steep learning curve. This is a much better game than Bethesda's modern offerings, despite the bad graphics in this old game. Bethesda should take notes of what they've forgotten from here instead of trying to disguise worse games in fancy graphics.    … Expand

    Major Points listed:

    1. Love the combat system, honestly its better than the combat system in Skyrim. 2. Extremely difficult to understand tasks at hand, Quests are hard to complete because the world is so large and you are given too little information to find anything. especially with very bad controls and a terrible camera. I understand that this game is very old and outdated,    Major Points listed:

    2. Extremely difficult to understand tasks at hand, Quests are hard to complete because the world is so large and you are given too little information to find anything. especially with very bad controls and a terrible camera. I understand that this game is very old and outdated, however this only makes up for graphics. The maps could have easily been split apart by separating dungeons, Instead maps are extremely difficult to interpret due to elevation and leave you lost the majority of the time retracing your steps for hours. I also hated that dungeon maps would reset after exiting a dungeon and that everything was randomly generated, felt the same and was too large - with a very small render distance.

    3. Dungeons were fun (yet repetitive), and challenging.

    4. Annoying system for crimes in which guards are invisible and randomly arrest you regardless of if anyone can find you.

    5. Races are somewhat unbalanced.

    I thought this game was pretty fun but it's flaws prevented me from enjoying nearly everything to any major extent. I will give this the highest neutral score instead of a 6/10 in which it deserves because it is worth your time (only because it's free).

    Enemy AI: 7/10 Good
    Camera: 3/10 Atrocious
    Controls: 5/10 Poor
    Replay Value: 8/10 Very Good
    Content: 7/10 Good
    Gameplay Tools: 0/10 Game hindering would actually prefer nothing
    Combat: 10/10 Excellent
    Dialogue: 6/10 Average
    and for the fun of it

    Size: Seriously Too Much For It's Own Good    … Expand
