Just a quick thread to say how realistic the game is, just depends on how you look at it.
For example:

Weird visuals
-------------------
What a lot of people are calling glitches in the game, actually all part of the fun, and add to the realism.
This game is based in a world where "Magical things happen"
Maybe these glitches are aftershocks or Magical fallout.

Can't complete Quests
---------------------------------
Life isn't perfect, and this is reflected in the game "to add realism".
In real life you can't just reload an old save.
In this game when people are saying the "quest is broken", what they mean is "life isn't perfect, but my quest has failed through no fault of my own"

Graphics Texture Quality
------------------------------------
If you think about it, this magical world hasn't a local spec-savers opticians.
So to add realism your character may truely be seeing the world in a blurry "non-HD" state.

NPC's don't have the right conversations available
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
face it, if you walk through any city and just bump into a random person, see what they have to say to you.

Can't interact with objects properly, or lose things
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just like us, the character in the game is only human, er... well... posssibly human
They could actually add to this, by making your character randomly losing his house keys on the way back from the tavern.


Now you see its all as it should be, and it's all just for the sake of realism.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On a serious note I spent ￡39 on this game, I now have 5 quests that I can't complete which is very annoying as I still haven't even really scratched the surface so-to-speak.

But to give it some perspective, I've so far got about 60 hours of fun out of this game, thats quite impressive for 40 quid.
So many games cost the same, and are drasticly shorter (COD - Black-Ops I finished that in hours!)

If I went to a restaurant for a nice meal with my wife (with drinks etc) that would be 30-40 and it would only be a couple of hours.
If I had a night out in a pub say from 8 till 12, I would probably drink about 10 pints of beer - that would be about 40quid for 4 hours fun.

It would be nice if the game worked perfectly, I am still hoping they can fix a lot of these issues.
But if not... nevermind I think got my moneys worth out of it.
