Amazing game, i will love and remember for the rest of my life.

Oh boy, this game.

Well, it's fun, the combat is very fast paced and fun, you can do a lot of moves with your skills and magic and abilities, you can combine them or charge them for a more powerful attack.

This game is HUGE, the map is VERY HUGE, there are a lot of dungeons and there is like 300 or 400 side quests to be done, but it is very unlikely that you will want to do every single one, you see, most of them, most of the quests are like the generic MMO quests (grab question with NPC > kill x things > collect x things > go back to NPC), but there is a lot of side quests very well done and with a nice story.

Play this game on HARD, because even on HARD it will be kinda easy, seriously, you will only face a challenge if you decide to fight more than 6 enemies (of your LEVEL - the ones with the name in YELLOW) at once or an enemy with an ORANGE or RED name.

There are a lot of things to say about this game, but let me give you some tips that won't ruin your fun.

If you want to kill enemies with one or two hits, pick BLACKSMITH and JEWELCRAFTING skill to level up, you will be able to craft your own gear, but you can make some GODLY gear, like, you can gain +60% DAMAGE with FIRE DAMAGE and LIFE LEECH and an insane amount of ARMOR, you will never die, really, it will look like GOD MODE. If you wanna some challenge in the fights and if you wanna use the nice sets and unique gear that you will find in the game (the uniques and set items are way more nice than the crafted ones, they are very stylish and have some nice stats and their own lore/description, but they don't have stats so powerful like the crafted gear), don't level up BLACKSMITHING, go for JEWELCRAFTING (to sell the jewels) and MERCANTILE so you can make a lot of money (i ended up with 12 millions GOLD and wasn't even in the end of the game, i had like 25 hours or more till the final boss).

Try to acquire the DLCs, Ded Kel and Teeth of Naros, they are very nice and the Ded Kel can grant you some nice things, like, you can acquire the best items for crafting (the FLAWLESS components, they grant insane stats for crafted gear) and a lot of uniques and set items (set gear) for FREE (the components are not free, but the gear that one NPC search for you is free), a NPC will get them for you.

Choose well the color of the eye of your character, you won't be able to change this after, only hair and jewels and tattoos once you gain your own house (there is like 3 or 4 houses only for your character in the game).

Try to do all the faction quests, they give you nice rewards and you end up meeting new NPCs and enjoying the stories.

Try to level up the DETECT HIDDEN skill, it will help you a lot. Don't bother, seriously, don't bother with LOCKPICKING and PERSUASION (PERSUASION can be nice if you really want some more dialogues, but it is not necessary), LOCKPICKING is useless, really, you will find some hard chests to lockpick, but after 3 or 4 lockpicks (and you will find and will be able to afford a lot of those lockpicks) you will end up opening the chests without problem. Try to level up DISPELLING, it will help you on magic chests and will prevent you for being cursed (curses can't be removed without a HEALER, and you will be forced to travel to a city or village to lift the curse, otherwise you can continue exploring, but some curses can make your character very vulnerable, very weak).

Try to read all the books you find, really, they can give you a nice understanding of the lore and they have some very interesting information, also, some of them are hilarious.

***If you want more challenge, you can try to use the YSA mod, it is a mod to be used with the Cheat Engine program, it changes the game to be way more challenging, i've never used but a lot of people said that it is very well done and you can choose what to use (like, you can disable the way your character receives damage [with the mod your character receives 2x or 3x more damage from the enemies] or the XP gain [experience is reduced by default with the mod]). ***


There is lot of more i would like to say, but i don't remember everything now. I hope this review help you.

Thanks for reading.

Very nice game, fun and challenging (if you play on hard), can be very challenging because of the bad camera in the battles. The characters are very well done and the graphics too.
