Gorgeous graphics, great soundtrack and really good voice acting, and engaging storyline, plenty of sidequests - and organized well enough so that you don't get lost.

Ego Draconis is surprisingly great.

The only thing that almost turned me off this game was how tough it seemed in the beginning. I kept dying and felt like I didn't know what to do. Once you spend some serious time with the game and figure out how it works, it's a pleasure from there on out.

Good

The difficulty of this game is exaggerated

Let’s just say the difficulty of this game is overly exaggerated. It is not as hard as risen and surely not even close to demons souls.

THE GOOD
The game is great story wise. However, the ending might not be appealing to everyone.

Skill tree is fantastic; you can add points to any skill no matter what is your class, which gives you opportunity to create flexible character.

Exploration is great. There are hundreds of places to explore. It is also rewarding. Just an ordinary crate can have the best armor or weapon in the game.

Flying in dragon form is fun. This is probably the only thing that works well in the game.

THE BAD
The character design is non-existing.

The graphics are not appealing at all. Actually, it’s pretty horrible.

The mechanics of the game are broken. It is impossible to lock on to the target no matter how hard you try. Not to mention that it would never lock on the target you want.

Saving system is also broken. DO NOT OVERWRITE SAVES! This corrupts saves. Rather, save new and delete the previous one.

TIPS
I can give some tips if you have trouble with the game.
-play this game as mage; it is easier to kill enemies from the distance.
-focus only on few skills. Fireball works great. Add points to destruction. Get "summon the undead" skill. Later on you can summon the undead (or demon) and your creature to fight by your side at the same time.
-maximize lock picking.
-always have a bow and a melee weapon available.
-when you complete the quest, don’t take the money, rather take experience points. I found money useless. I never used any potions (only in the last boss fight), neither I bought any weapons or armor. Everything you can find in the crates or as quest reward.
-read the minds of every single boss, it often gives you extra skill point.
-don’t take any books unless it is skill point book or quest item.

the game is pretty good itself. there wasnt a bunch of custimazation choices and i think to many can be a little crazy (oblivion). there were a few flaws in the game the graphics were very well done but the directions some in game people told you were way off and right before you get to a place you want to go a random person jumps out of no where and you go through a massive semi story line thing. but overall i liked the game a lot. definently a game to rent you like rpg games oh and its 3rd person.
