Well, I have persevered in this game and am presently in Chapter 4.
I still find the controls to be pretty 'clunky' and it's often risky to try to move too fast through narrow quarters....like windows. I did discover that the Jump command can also be used as a CLIMB move after failing to jump onto certain areas but able to climb onto them.
I'm at the point in the game where I've secured a ship from the Necromancers and Black Guards and am having to thwart any attempt of new Black Guards to board the ship while someone is preparing its launch. I have to keep someone alive during this period or it's over.
I'm still finding it a lot of fun to light arrows and then light up the enemy with them.
Although the graphics are nice, I'm still not as impressed with that aspect of the game nearly as much as I was with OBLIVION. OBLIVION definitely gets MY vote for GOTY!
