I started playing the tutorial earlier. I really need to learn the stats system and attribute influences and all that. I created a sexy looking Asian thief class male and plan to build up his magic a bit later (that's possible, right?), turning him into a rogue style mage. I like combining the two like I did in Oblivion. There's something about a very dextrous and agile spellcaster working with daggers and a generous amount of critical hit points.

Combat feels a bit stiff, similar to Fable (in terms of third person action RPGs), but I think Fable's system is better, more fluid. Still, the various fighting moves are a pleasure to watch.

I quit the tutorial just before I met its boss. Will try to deal with that later but now I wanna start on Assassin's Creed II (sigh, to be in Venice during the culturally and politically over-charged Renaissance era).
