If you want to see women in this game, then please head to Tharbarkin City. Lots of women, there
Unfortunately, Reality Pump, have made these women like real women
If you approach them, and ask them something, they WILL tell to sod off, ok, maybe a little more politely than that, but they will tell you to go way...
This really adds to the realism of the game, since the game attempts to describe
how life was back in rural Poland/Central Europe/ in the middle ages. And most women would be in cities. For some odd reason I went to Tharbarkin City and there I talked to people. And lo and behold, when I talked to different people, most of them had something different to say about the state of affairs in Tharbarkin or what news from the south. So much better again, than Oblivion's dialogue. I also like that I can see my character speak when talking to people e.g. his facial animation, I mean.
Also, I played the demo with its inbuilt 1.5 patch or service release, for maybe 6 or 8 hours total, and found it to be rather good. The save your sister thing gives the game a rather personal feel and touch, as well as it gives you a reason to get involved in the main quest. So much different than Oblivion's main quest where you didn't know why the emperor choose you, except for the line 'it is you. I have seen you in my dreams' perfectly said by actor Patrick Steward during the opening scene of Oblivion.
Even the rain in this games looks better and more realistic than Oblivion's. It even adds thunder, and loudly so, too. The bloom is luckily toned down to an acceptable minimum which makes this game look realistic. I got a horse by doing a quest for horsebreeder. And that was the only thing, I found a bit weird odd and strange. I tried to steer the horse like you would in real life, but unfortunately the horse seemed to have a mind of its own, and wanted to left, when I wanted to go right and vice versa. Also, the clipping? was terrible as the horse got stuck in walls and in mountainsides. Rather disappoiting. I would say.
The combat in this game is a clickfest. And I mean it. It is worse than Oblivion's, since in Oblivion, at least you had a sense of the combat e.g. that it was your player that did the combat. Here, the combat does you
And by that I mean, when you click on say a boar or on a black bear, your guy just attacks and attacks and attacks. This is easily made for in the entertaining and fun quests all over the world in Antaloor.
This game also does something correctly, unlike Oblivion. It only adds new locations to your map, when you have found them or when someone places them on your map for you. This is how it should be as well as you should be able to carry more, when your strengths improves. A feature that this game also does properly & correctly
I experienced only very small clipping and framerate issues, mainly due to the fact that I ahd the game autosave every 5 minutes. Whenever, the game would autosave, there would be a slight pause, while it autosaved the game.
For some reason even the trees looks better than Oblivon's....
