inspite my initial reservations, I love playing this game, there a million things I miss when comparing it to Oblivion. But the story is great and involving, The character are well done and it is easy to start caring for them more ( I was actually a little sad at when I started the final quest as I knew our travels would come to an end.) As for the backgrounds and environments I miss movement of trees, grass or water it sometimes feels like the game is paused when you stand stilll. I think I miss most is the inability to have random adventures while traveling. or just exploring the realm. still as even though I count myself as an EA hater i must admit that bioware seemed to have produced a fun100+ Hour game which I would regret not playing and would recommend to any one. Now lets bring the mods cause this game could use some. a player home player home (with storage) Anyway, wish all of you a good time with this game and I'm sure you will. p.s. I played a rogue city elf and my team has two warrior and a mage A strategy tip in combat send your warrior to kill the lowest enemies first and place your rogue(-archer) behind your main target and have your mage entertain the strongest enemy till your warriors have killed the archers and weak enemies. this strategy has helped me greatly.
