Started playing this game and thought id share my first thoughts.
It reminds me in a lot of ways to Age of Conan and although this is not an MMO it has that feel of progressive play.
Looks nice and gritty and the graphics are on a par with Conan even though i feel due to it not being an MMO it should be better.
It may be just me but id rather not have a levelling / gearing system in what is in effect a single player game as it doesnt make sense to me in the narrative . An adult adventurer all of a sudden has to learn how to use swords etc ??
I think it is padding the game and takes away from the action. Id much more prefer a Call of Duty style approach of discovery and adaption in battle with the opponents having AI that responds to your attacks.
For me so far its a console attempt at giving players an MMO type of game. Ill be playing it furhter tosee how it develops as the storyline is quite interesting even though i still have to learn how to use a helmet lol.
