A phenomenal pseudo-RPG with realistically merciless combat, and tense and balanced relatively complex stealth mechanics. A huge amount of content, a wide variety of quest types, well-written believable characters, a strong sense of historical authenticity, and the most beautiful medieval countryside visuals you can find. It also has decent mod support.
Unfortunately the game suffers from really poor performance optimization. Unstable 40fps is what you will have to get used to. Also I'm not a fan of over-reliance on "immersive" first person animations for every interaction. Especially ones that flop the character's head around all over the place. Animators should understand what the vestibular system does.
Mind you that this is coming from a fan of Oblivion and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. -so many "horrible bugs" are just endearing to me. Also, the game crashed only once during about 80 hours of playing.
