I liked this game. I played it for about 3 months daily until I got bored. Maybe its because I found out that some shopkeepers have unlimited amounts of some ingredients and I kept buying them to make potions to sell and got extremely rich off of it. I ended up with amazing custom spells and an insane alchemy skill. The story is non-existant early on, but I sorta got into the prophecy later. Its too bad that I made a wrong turn and got lost for a week. Its amazing how fast you can get lost, and how long it takes to get from 1 place to another. I was hoping for some kind of teleportation system like the Waypoints in Diablo 2 but no such luck. I hate how some of the required quests involve going between the big cities and the little town out in the middle of nowhere (i forget the name of the desert camp with the important people like the old woman or whatever) that took an hour or more to get to running. I also didn't like finding books and stuff that I spent several days looking for and it just got me like a compliment and another book searching quest.
Overall, I'd say its an 8/10. It is worth playing because you'll get several hours of entertainment. Always join the Thieves Guild. I was in all three guilds. The best part about the Thieves Guild is the ability to get warrants off you with bribes. I stole a shop from a shopkeeper by killing him and taking all his fine wares, then ran as fast as I could to the guy you pay to get the warrant to go away.
