Hey, everyone. I have been playing my new game, which is a role playing game I bought for the humble, on-sale price of 99 cents. The game is certainly worth that price. I played it for 2 hours last night and a little while today. I like it. It is not as fast paced as I normally like my games but the graphics are really nice and they have given you an option of an easy mode so you don't get stuck. I am having a little problem learning how to do certain things, however.
For instance. The on-screen advice keeps telling me that I could travel faster if I had a horse, but I haven't figured out how to get one, nor have I seen any. I even tried running down a large deer in hopes that I could ride him but he proved to be too elusive.
The roadways of this land which I am traveling through are vexed with robbers. I have killed a score of these scurvy knaves. I would have thought that word would have gotten around to the seamy dives which these villains inhabit, but they still seek me out. As I approached one of them, I asked if I could be of service and he insolently replied that I could give him my purse. I met his arrogance with cold steel, you may rest assured of that. Never again will he trouble his betters.
I forgot to mention that, during this game, you are assigned various quests as you travel about. I am keeping in shape by jogging everywhere due to the no-horse scenario. I have had to kill about a dozen wolves but hey, they came hunting trouble and they found it.
I booked passage on a lovely sailing vessel. The sharp-eyed rogue who owned the boat asked for 50 pieces of gold! I paid him but was loath to do so. I would fain have paid him with 6 inches of steel in his vitals but that would have put me on the wrong side of the law. I understand that you can buy your way out of that in the sewers of Callaheim but I don't frequent sewers, if avoidable.
Sorry, I got too far into character there. But this is a good game, not bad even if you are a shooter dude like myself. For 99 cents, it is just fine. Maybe I'll see you on the road to Redrock Bay. They have a store there that sells armor. It is too expensive for me at this time.
You can play as a human, a troll or an elf. There are guilds to join, magic potions to craft and you can choose hairstyles and all sorts of things. It is supposed to yield a whopping 30 hours of game-play, which probably means 100 for a player of my caliber. But, you know what? I don't get stuck on this game, which makes it okay in my book.
