I enjoy the music, game play and humor of this game. Multiplayer is quite fun with friends. I feel like it was well worth purchasing. This game will make you strategize and think through your actions.

Character models are stiff, voice acting is very much lacking for many characters, battle feels boring and slow, story is.. well... boring. Let's see... hearing annoying confirmations from your avatar every time you click to move gets quickly on your nerves try as you may to ignore it. I noticed the weapons were not even being held in my avatars hands but were floating in many cases which is just weird. Dialogue windows randomly started to re-paste what I selected as I got further along in the game, causing me to have to hit "next" after I made a selection... I know what I chose game.. why tell me my own choice again instead of having the NPC respond? I wanted to like this.. I played Baulder's Gate and Neverwinter years ago.. but I just could not get into this. But hey.. lots of boring fetch quests if your into that.

I want to say that when this game was new I was excited at the prospects of everything you could do. The world itself is actually pretty neat with beautiful water effects, player housing, mounts, farming, fishing, trade and lots of quests and other activities to do. It was actually very fun... for a while. My Cons: The Labor system **** the joy out of the game. The community is largely toxic. Pay to win big time. (Gold spammers are in heaven.) Hacking is really bad and obvious. Devs don't care, Trion does not care. Combat is boring and lackluster button mashing. PvP is very unbalanced gear & skill wise. The economy is terrible and constantly in huge swings. Few dungeons, limited rewards. End game becomes a grind in a very limited area. You cant customize your characters body, only the face/hair. Crafted end game armor thats basically plate on a swimsuit. (and not even that great looking) You cant dye a majority of the armor so your stuck on the color it comes in typically. Farming takes up hours and hours and hours and is boring to tears. The castles sieges are stupid, you pay a lot of gold for the right to siege (1 guild at a time) on a very limited twice a month basis. Guilds have been known to bid on their own siege rights. The criminal justice system is basically a good way to get picked on and works backwards, punish them and their entire guild hunts yours down, they get out of jail in 10 minuets and keep your stuff. Sound is generic and repetitive. Crafting is a gamble, grind, money, and labor sink. (Unless you pay to win!) I would rather do just about anything else.

I love all of the thief games they are entertaining with interesting stories. This is a good game if you like to use strategy and be naughty. :p Not a run up and kill stuff and make everything explode sort of game. Hours of fun and glory.
