started it last night when i got home. rolled an orc and was running around bashing everything in the prologue, escaped, found a bandit camp, killed them, used all my lock picks trying to break into a house i found, attacked some necromancer up to some shenanigans by the lake, saw the ruins on the mountain-side and decided to check them out, ended up in a barrow in the middle of the night, wind blowing, snow driving, fought some giant-ass spider, freed a thief who immediatley ran off, then got hacked up by three pissed off undead...epic.
amazing game, completely sucked me in. my "i'll just roll my character and then go to to bed because i have to work early" turned into "holy crap its 2am and i have to get up in three hours."
completely worth it and it totally so far lives up to the hype. i may re-roll my character though since it is the same type i'm playing in wow. i kind of want to roll something and check out necromancy. something about fighting that acolyte beside the lake in the middle of the night was just too cool.
anyway, i think it is awesome. can't wait to bolt work and may think of some reasons i need to 'work from home' today.
