If you want magnificent graphics and fascinating movie cutscenes, never mind this game. It has neither. What it DOES have is excellent replay value; customizable skill points; a huge, open world with plenty of stuff to steal and locks to pick; different conversation options at certain points that can affect your character's reputation; many, MANY spells to learn and creatures to upgrade; many groups of monsters to conquer and loot to sell; and a compelling main storyline. It's a little difficult at times, but if you're a wimp you can change the difficulty setting at any time from the Pause menu. (I'm kidding about the wimp part.)
