i enjoyed it a great deal. i often thought about picking up the expansions, but there are so many other games out there that are worth playing, i'll probably just wait for Oblivion rather than doing the add-ons for MW.

great game though. hundreds of hours of gameplay, if you like playing open-ended games. the various quests and faction-plots are great.

it can be easy if you find the best way to "min-max" your character. an optimized fighter can easily destroy most creatures in the game, even at low levels.

I first started as a balanced class, between fighter-thief-mage. i could do most things, but they were all fairly challenging. when i played again as a pure fighter, i cleaved through a room full of opponents at 2nd level, that before required me to gather strength and resources up to 8th level before i could face them.

if you put all your resources into being the best mage possible, instead of focusing on combat, it will be MUCH harder.

How you level up and spend your points and optimize your stat-gain is also very important. its easy to be a munchkin-gamer if you try, but also easy to overlook or not impliment the abusive aspects of the game, if you just play casually.

i mean, its not really fair to say that a single player game is broken if you abuse it. all you have to do, is NOT ABUSE IT. its like playing the AI in se4. you KNOW when you're cheating at technology trades, and you dont HAVE to offer them empty engineless escorts in exchange for their warships.
