I was given a quest to travel to a nearby town to talk to someone. I was also warned that I should stick to the roads when trabeling...well I ended up spending 2 hours exploring the countryside on the way to that town, looking for caves and other cool ruins that are all over the place. I love the "sneak" ability and use it like spider sense out in the wilderness since all the plants make it easy for animals to sneak up on you.
The world is very huge (considering I'm traveling by foot), maybe it'll seem smaller when I get a horse who knows. The caves/dungeons are freaking scary, great lighting (or lack of it), great sound (helps me know when a skelton is sneaking around), very good overall atmosphere...
Also, was fun creating a custom class and working various skills. So much more to learn and do but it's been a blast so far. Only bad part is the segmented world that requires loading; most outdoor loads are almost instant but going through doors brings up a 2-5 second load screen...oh well :)
