High Definition, High Eye Strain
So I’ve been playing on my XBox tonight. I have a nice HDTV connected to it. I’v noticed myself moving forward closer to the television a lot. It seems that the small writing is just too much of a strain to read on all the menus and such. It probably turns out that I need to get my glasses to play.
I finally made it out of the sewers an into the world. Man … it’s amazing to see the power of a kick-ass gaming console and HDTV at work. The hills just went on in such a large distance. I was able to see trees pretty far away and eventually walk up to them. Water had nice waves and watching the sunset was just breathtaking.
Of course, by next week I’ll probably be bored of it. For some reason, I get bored of games pretty quick. I don’t know why. It seems as soon as i’ve figured out the basics of them, they just seem repetitive and nothing new happens. Well, we shall see.

“You have my ear Citizen”.
I have played it for about 7 hours now and am already a member of the Theives Guild (although I got kicked out!) and am currently on a quest to help someone by killing 12 nasty spiky fish!
I agree, the landscape you see when you come out of the sewers is amazing! So dream-like too. I spent ages splashing around in the lake and running trying to kill those deer.
I don’t get much time to play, but I am really enjoying it.
