It's more than interesting. It's an unexpected little gem actually.

3 basic classes: fighter, thief, mage. I wouldn't try mixed classes, at 
least not in the early game. I've tried all 3 classes to mid-game, and 
they're all viable: I found the thief the hardest to handle, initially.

If you want to give this a go: find the cheat page with the skill 
trainers' locations, unless you want to make life harder for yourself.
Each trainer will only train a certain range of skill levels, so once 
you're past that, you can no longer use that trainer, and it means you 
will be unable to max out your skill at the end of the game. 

Large world, 5 different factions who you can join and do quests for 
(they do not seem mutually exclusive and there doesn't generally seem 
much in the way of rivalry between them, but I may not have arrived at 
some fork in the road there). 

Haven't played in about 5 months, I've been busy with RL stuff ... I am 
very tempted to go back and get my skills up again at that game. Liked 
it much better than the Bethesda offerings.
