Cons
Con The graphics are dated, but can be modded to a more modern standard with mod packs
Con Shallow hack and slash combat
Combat is a bit basic with no information on enemy health and not much in a way of enemy AI. Bad guys will just go straight for the player and all one can do is hack and slash until all are dead. Over time this become quite boring and annoying as there is really no depth.
