depending on what you want to do it can be pretty awesome. It really does have alot to do with role playing though, if you just want flashy stuff to happen and cutscenes this isn't the game for you, but if you want a free roaming experience where you can do pretty much whatever you want to a certain extend it's fun, you can be an assassin, you can be a werewolf, a vampire, a knight, a wizard, a ranger, evil, good, neutral, you can fight with large swords, dual wield small swords, bows, crossbows, magic, shields. it's really customizable with the attributes too for where you want your characters strengths.
Example, I have an assassin that excels at using a bow, being stealthy, and daggers, with lots of stamina, medium health and no real magic power, I have a werewolf who runs around in a loincloth most of the time, when I get into a battle change into a big monster and fuck shit up, eating people, ripping out their hearts, knocking heads off and mauling people. I have a wizard who sets rooms on fire, turns invisible and summons tornados and demons while being practically magic immune, he is weak to physical attacks though. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but the level of freedom they give your character is pretty sweet.
