I pre-purchased this game, thinking it would be similar to TES or Gothic, and, when I finally was able to play it and, a few minutes after I launched it, I realised it's just as bad as every other game based on a popular book or film.
The story is alright, but there are way too many dialogue scenes, too few fights, and the combat itself - it was supposed to be like Dragon Age's - is really bad. No mutilations or fatalities and very boring overall.
Unless you really want to follow the story, don't buy this game!
