I knew next to nothing about this game, and I know just as little coming out of this review. I'm guessing it's a first person adventure RPG, much like Morrowind or Oblivion, although you never really say. You don't mention how the gameplay feels, except that it's a less epic version of the aforementioned series.
It's actually a 3rd person open world RPG, but I can't blame you for not knowing that after reading this review. Whether it's your unchangeable optimism or trust in humanity or the fact that your still relatively new to this site, I don't know, but I like the fact that you're still giving constructive criticism.
Not so much unchangable optimism as it is ardent obsession with being constructive. There are two speeds of newb I've seen here in the Escapist. One is "LOLOL i r gamer u guiz r elitst" and "this place iz kinda tuff." The difference is the latter can improve if they put their mind to it, and fit in here like the circle-peg in the round hole. The former usually jams the square in the star-hole until the box breaks and they get kicked out, or someone notices that it's going to break, and asks them politely to leave, locking them out as they trudge. I feel like this guy can be on of the circle-peggers. Certainly really far from the normal speed of people who fit in locally, but not impossibly far. I like the benefit of the doubt, although the optimism will run out if his next few posts look like these last few.
As for relatively new, considering you've got about 2 months membership time on me, I can't argue that I'm indeed not as old as your standard
Gigantor or
PurpleRain. Even though I don't have the rich history these folks have, I'd still like to think I'm not hopping about posting naivety in grand form, but rather being both critical and helpful. Hell, maybe I'm just different.
