The game is superb with a megaton amount of lore. Factions, races, kingdoms. Everything is the same as everywhere else. But the way you can influence the balance of power in the world is simply amazing. So that you understand, when you start the game you are not the chosen one, you are not some Dovagin. You're just a nobody and you don't have any super power. And how you will develop, swing, get rich, and so on depends only on you, and this is where the fun begins. There are no missions in the game. Complete freedom! If you want, be a merchant, run around selling gear that you made yourself or with the help of your comrades at your outpost. Do you want to be a drug addict and secretly sell “wheels” to the meat mafia. Do you want to be a marauder, rob the vanquished and sell their gear and them into slavery. Do you want to be a great thief or a legendary fighter for justice, or a treasure hunter. There are a lot of possibilities.
At first it will seem like some kind of game.
