I played for a few hours but got pretty bored with it and uninstalled it. I didn't like the experience engine (it seems you're just GIVEN a fixed number of points per adventuring area that you can use however you want), I also found the storyline uninspiring and the characers cookie cutter. The interface was clunky at best, combat was VERY clunky and almost dull... there was very little feedback regarding how you were doing (you had to watch the opponents "health bar" to know if you were accomplishing anything... and it was SLOOOWW), the graphics were good but I much prefer the "open world" design of morrowind to the area limited design of this game.

Overall I'd give it 4 of 10. Your mileage may vary, I don't have enough free time to play games that aren't very good. This game was OK but not worth the time IMO.
