Phew, all's well that ends well! I was going to get it myself, then I

sub-£15 game. I'm still tempted, mind. Thus far, I've spent £90 on
gaming stuff this year which isn't too bad.

How does Amular compare to, say, Oblivion or Skyrim? Is it a similar sort
of game?

Same structure for story/questing as an Elder Scrolls 4 or 5, in a
somewhat WoW visual style, with Torchlight/Deathspank fighting, and a
lot of elves of the "midummer night's dream" dangerously whimsical
type.

Not that I really want to be buying more massive games when I have 7 games
on the go at the moment (one being Skyrim...) but anyway.

It's at least 40 hours, certainly - I'm up to 60 and I reckon about
2/3rds of all quests done.
