It does sound great, from what you've said, and I think I'll put it on my Christmas wish list (for hubby and sons, if they're trying to figure out what I want). :D
Before you buy it, make sure you watch some gameplay and like killing a ton of orcs. Some may find it a bit repetitive. There is an appendix of lore in the game - which is completely optional - but the story is really just a justification for you to kill a lot of things.
Thank you for the advice, I'll do that! I played Asheron's Call for four years, where the leveling treadmill was very repetitive; so were WoW dailies (my nemeses). If I put up with those two games for awhile, I might enjoy fighting swarms of orcs.
