I found this game to be very entertaining. Like any game, however, it does have problems (more on this later). Firstly, I want to stress that this is not “Morrowind with ships”. This game is much different than Morrowind, sharing only the common open-ended theme. Throughout the game, your character will have the opportunity to “level up” and improve skills of your choosing. They range from sword fighting to leadership. In addition, your character can also gain certain skills (such as professional gunman) which will make those tough situations a little bit easier. The game is basically split into two different types of gameplay- on land, and at sea. The game contains 8 major islands that you can explore to your heart’s content. In a typical town, there are 4 main buildings (in addition to houses and other buildings). They are the port, the store, the tavern, and the shipyard. One of the things I really enjoyed about this game was the “Quick Travel” option. From anywhere in a city, you can instantly travel to any of the four major buildings. This was a relief since games like Morrowind usually require you to manually walk wherever you want to go. It’s also great if you have just landed on the island for repairs and want to set sail again quickly.
