Glad I'm waiting a month for a price reduction and patch.

You have learned.

[crazy canuck]

Once you get over the interface difficulties there is a really nice game there.

Nah, it really is a good game, Jonas.

Although I do keep getting my ass handed to me by two-handed wielding enemies, after my first companion got eaten by a dragon.

Over-the-shoulder view is retarded. "Hi, I'm blind on the left eye!!". I guess there's a mod to fix it though.

Yeah.  That's mega-irritating, along with the fact that the activate button is the same as the grab button.  I always set the spacebar as the activate button in these games, and that doesn't work in this game, because things like books cannot be taken into inventory unless the E key is the activate key. 

You cna use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom out a bit.

Having played the game for some hours now, it is obvious that the developers played Dragon Age, and took the right lessons from it.  The whole feel of the game (not interface, but the NPCs, dialogue, and towns) is straight from DA, and that is a good thing.  The feel of DA plus the freedom of the Elder Scrolls equals magic.

I have to say the detail of the weapons and armor when you look at them in the inventory reminds me of the deisgns in Gothic 1 & 2.

I want to see myself in the inventory screen, doll style, for trying out outfits.

It's on sale here for €39,90, going to get it sometime next week.

The problem is that clicking on a book opens it, and then you have to press the E key to take the book.  If the E key isn't the activate key, it does nothing in the open book screen, and that screen doesn't update to the new activate key if you change the key.

Also irritating is that the activate key isn't a toggle like it is in all other game of which I am aware.  Activating a crate opens it, but activating again does nothing.  You have to tab to close.  Ditto for NPC conversations, etc.

 Broke 24 hours of time sunk into the game, with a level 16 alchemist tea lady to show for it.

Going to bed now.

It'll be an even nicer game in a month.

1. I will be done with school for the semester and it won't distract me from my papers and finals.
2. It'll be $20 cheaper.
3. It might have a nice patch.

Exactly right.  Good luck with exams.

saw a random generated dragon yesterday. it flew in cicles overhead, but i couldn't hit it so it never attacked. it eventually flew away as i curse at it.

Same thing happened to me yesterday.  I was wandering along the northern coastline, and a dragon showed up and just circled around making noise.  I eventually lost sight of it in a snowstorm and wandered off, but I did get attacked for real by one (possibly the same one) in the same general area (a bit more inland) later.
