Well, I'm certainly not going to say Zelda (since I really haven't played one since 'A Link to the Past'), but it certainly has an Oblivion vibe. You do have swords and eventually magic so it's the closest thing I can relate it to. I mean, there is a bit of Wow in this thing too where you do have a cool-down time for stamina. Uhm...Your armor needs constant repairs, you can forge. Uh, oh yeah, a big thing about the game is that it's always live so there is no pausing since your online. Overall, it just blends many other games into one neat and difficult package. Sorry for the terrible description but that's really all i can go on... haven't really been gaming much. Regardless, its game that needs to be tried out by RPG enthusiasts... and masochists.
