Stand up for what you believe; Even if you stand alone.

----Sorry for some reason the images don't show but the links should work.

This quests starts off at a tavern where a woman has asked me to spy on someone. The story is pretty good - every quest so far feels like it has true purpose. The quests are also voice acted as well and even though there are several response options players can choose, you'll find yourself spamming Option 1 as that's the only one that truly gets you further along the quest.

So here we go... I've now left The Thirsty Dog tavern and have to sneak past some guards towards my place of espionage.  The quest area is marked on my map with an X, but I am not told how to get to that X. This quest was obviously designed to get the player familiar with Sneaking and Climbing, both of which are skills you pick up during the game as well as a skill which allows you to heal better and a 'Search' skill. So far those are all I have, but I'm very glad that I have to actually put points into the skills the way I see fit

Having snuck past those guards, I now find myself in an enemy base – sneaking about because there is a ladder not too far off that I’ve spotted which will get me onto the roof – which I can then obviously follow to my destination.

Now I have to take out these guards – they aren’t very tough…

Notice the glove graphic… the game has awesome potential but requires quite a lot of polish… Enemy and I are taking shots at each other.

I am asked if I would like to watch the cinematic part of the quest or skip it…

The cinematic is over so I get down from my vantage point and sneak off to report my findings…

In conclusion, the game is definately a diamond in the rough.  I submit about 3-5 bugs per play session - but the game has awesome potential for sure.  Keep in mind the game also looks way better than my older PC can handle, but since the latest patch at least it's running perfectly fine with no stuttering or freezing or even crashes.
