I've been an avid gamer since the Atari 2600 console in the late 70's. Adveture games were one of the first big things, back then they were all text with a few that had graphics (The Hobbit!).
Since then i mainly played strategy games and First Person Shooters (FPS).
Recently i picked up an RPG game, a genre i've toyed with but not enjoyed a lot until now (dragonage/skyrim).
I'm totally hooked ! I think this game is under-rated which is why i'm posting about it (and also i'm totally frakkin whacked on this NLBB oven-dried smoke so i'm having a posty hour now, i realise!).
Sometimes you want to finish work, get the headphones on and shoot loads of people in CoD or BF4 or whatever.
Now i like to unwind by wandering pink and blue lands, picking flowers to mix health potions with, while listening to a modern rendition of medieval music.
It's single-player so can get a bit lonely, but the world is HUGE and the story is great with MILLIONS opf side-quests, etc. Made by big huge games who love large worlds.
You do get some party combat but you're mostly fighting alone (tho i've only done a few quewsts so this may change).
Anyway, totally whacked now.
