While this DLC is a bit short (it took me about 40 minutes of leisurely gameplay), I found it enjoyable. The map is a bit uninspired (a little too linear for my tastes), but I thought the concept and execution was interesting. Plus, the new weapons and mini-games extend the life of the game for players who have completed the main story and side quests.

I will start by saying that I am enjoying this game. I think that comparing this (or ANY other RPG) to Oblivion isn't a fair comparison. Oblivion was a remarkable game that set THE standard for an open-world RPG, but using it as a benchmark for any game even -remotely- in the RPG genre is misleading. There is far more to the RPG experience than stunning graphics and/or control schemes. I enjoy RPGs that allow me to explore a fantasy world, be part of an engaging story, and watching my character progress. Arcania does that very well. For some, the graphics may seem unpolished, but the game drew me **** suspended my disbelief. I guess I don't mind my imagination filling in some gaps that the developers may have left.
