There's also really no story to speak of and no real characters, just people doing stuff. There's some impressive technology on display and some real effort went into making an accurate depiction of Africa and I did like the mature ending as well as some of the philosophical statements and parallels made, but the gameplay is just kind of... ass.

Anyways I had to create a new Skyrim character because... I did something and deleted all my save files. Good bye Mr. Mostlymittens, Arwyn, and Arthur, and say hello to Arthena.

FC3 on the other hand ... is just brilliant.
I know that's not what you want to hear, but get fc 3. You don't have to play any of the previous parts.
