Dunno, I found the game quite charming. It's everything Oblivion should have been.
There's exploration, the world is large - you can ride horses, teleport around ,sail boats..
And it beautiful. New Ashos is a particularly beautiful city.
I found combat fun..each weapon felt different and had different special moves. Polearms and two-handed swords really felt powerful and useful.
The Magic system is just twisted (in a good way). Shower of Anvils + Hurricane = a torando of anvils around you.

The waterwalking spell...or the 7 mile jump one. Frak, you jumped like 500 meters into the air with that one!
My personal favorite is the homing, rebounding spray of lighting blots that cause a firestorm on impact!!
A spray that summon several creatures (Scapulari rock b.t.w.) + Eye for An Eye (reflect damage). FUN!
