i agreee with the review about the level system where you can't get good items until you reach a high level, that does suck.

what i don't agreee with are point 1 and 3, the UI for the PC has added buttons to go where you want to go. F1-F4 go to the different menus, i guess he just hasn't read the read-me file.
and the third point is not true either, gaurds don't appear there out of nowhere, if nobody sees you stealing something, they don't appear at all. i've tried.

but i do whole heartedly agree about the monster levels and the equipment not being available until you're a higher level. although it does make this game challenging, there is no way of raping anybody/thing in the game with superb equipment.

and i have no other complaints so far.

The only area that bothers me is that the monsters level with you. I don;t like that at all. Part of the fun of a deep game like this is being able to go back and just wipe out lower level areas. It gives you a sense of accomplishment in the game and lets you actually feel like your becoming one of the more powerful beings in the realm. On the flip side, when you come across an enemy that much more powerful than you, you get a sense of how much farther you have to go.

Didn't Morrowind have something like that? I remember killing the mobs with the same difficulty when I was lvl 60 as when I was 10.... But there you didn't really notice, I guess.

i think it might be in the difficulty settings? because you can change from easy-medium-hard. maybe if you put it on easy the monsters don't level up or something and when you put it on hard, they level up faster?
