Two words: it is amazing! Okay, that's three words, but it's seriously a good game as opposed to its prior Morrowind, which I've only ever played for about an hour or so. I've played more hours on here with mates than I care to bother counting and, admittedly, I still haven't completed it.

The main quest is interesting, with yourself being tasked to find a new ruler as well as stop the return of a daedric lord (I shan't give any more away, as this is only a review); the side-quests are interesting, with there being numerous Guilds to join and side-quests, which in fact do retain some mearning as they can affect your character background (vampirism, wealth, and just general improving skills); and finally, there are a great number of NPCs that differ from one another and whom you must either help or ignore, which makes it so that you've an actual choice in the gameplay. There are also so many mods avaliable for this game to enhance your experience, so that you can continue even when you've completed it a bunch of times.

My only faults with the game is that there are still some glitches with it. I can recall that, not even two months ago, I was attempting to fulfill the side-quest of the White Lodge and couldn't find the NPC that you and the Knight-orc are required to kill. Eventually, after searching the web, I found a solution and completed the quest, but having to search for ages killed the entertainment of completing that quest for me.

Also, another fault is that, although the game world is large and diverse, it still remains a tad linear, with the main quest requiring you to aid the Prince against the dadric. Although you've a choice in how to kill (bow, magic, etc) and whether you allow your comrades to die or restart and attempt to make them live, the actual quest still remains with you helping. Seriously, no becoming a vampire or dadric ruler above all for you.

So, all in all, it is a brilliant game. It kept me intrigued for hours, from rumaging through caves killing vampires and mages to visiting the Prince of Madness (a quest that I adore completing). If you're looking to waste hours on a fun game, with differing races to meet and Guilds to become involved in, then all I can say is: prepare to be amazed ;)
