It's an excellent sandbox RPG with lots of great features. I love the text based adventures and the menu based cities - they feel a lot more realistic and atmospheric than any towns I've visited in any other RPG. Add to that the historical setting, well implemented magic system, reputation system, riddles and interesting character generation (gaining attributes and skills by historical background and occupation) and character system and you got yourself an instant classic. Unfortunately the RTwP combat sucks and it gets repetetive pretty fast but still, I've been coming back to this on a regular basis since I discovered it thanks to you, Fable, a couple of years ago. Shouldn't be played without the manual though.
